INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL RELATIONS OF THE HABSBURG EMPIRE
07/02/2017 Susanne WurmFINANCE AND ECONOMY IN CEE, THE DANUBE REGION: ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSAnglo-Austrian Bank, Austro-Hungarian, Balkans, Boden-Credit-Anstalt, Credit-Anstalt, Franco-Österreichische Bank, Gründerzeit, Rothschild, Turkish Empire
Former Länderbank (Vienna), founded 1880, architect Otto Wagner (built 1882-1884)
It can be said that the Austro-Hungarian credit institutions were established along French and German lines either as direct imitations (Prussian mortgage banks, credit cooperatives) or as combinations of German, English or French patterns (savings banks). At the same time very special types were developed in the monarchy, such as the Landesbanken or the dualistic organisation of the bi-national Austro-Hungarian Bank. They illustrate the special financial climate in the empire. The adjustment to this special climate can also be seen in the participation of the ownership in the banks and the management of the banks. For example, in their application to the ministry the founders of Credit-Anstalt guaranteed the subscription of the capital in the following way: 40 per cent was taken by the Rothschild houses in Vienna, Frankfurt and Paris, 50 per cent by Austrian and Bohemian aristocrats and 10 per cent by a private Prague banker. According to the founders’ statement of intention, it could only undertake Austrian transactions and a representative of the state had a seat in the governing body. Representatives of the Hungarian aristocracy also had seats in the first committee of the management. In this way the Credit-Anstalt wished to be a financial institution representing the multinational character of the monarchy. In the final distribution of shares the Credit-Anstalt revealed its “national” character according to the monarchy’s state philosophy: neither the dynasty itself, nor the aristocracy nor the Viennese Jews were excluded.…

India Rockets Past Record Books
The country achieved a milestone by launching 104 satellites with a single rocket in February. A journalist provides a first-hand account of the historic moment.
by Pankti Mehta Kadakia
On February 15, 2017, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C37 (PSLV-C37), a rocket carrying 104 satellites, lifts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota. CFP
It’s the final countdown, but the band Europe is nowhere to be found—this is the real deal. The speakers mechanically relay numbers rather than 80s synth rock.
10… 9… 8… a surreal cloud cover hangs low, heightening the anticipation.
6… 5… 4… Hundreds of eyes squint at the sky, fighting the southern sun.
3… 2… 1… A few seconds of silence. Bated breath. Finally… BOOM! As zero sets in, a fiery stream shoots through the clouds, steadily ascending, almost slow motion. The crowd erupts into cheers, and eyes glisten throughout the crowd.
On February 15, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C37 (PSLV-C37) lifted off, remarkably carrying 104 satellites. With it, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) smashed the previous record with unthinkable authority. Russia had previously topped all attempts by launching 37 satellites at once.
A few minutes after the rocket made its dramatic exit, the sun continued beating down on the enraptured crowd as the people willed the rocket to make an encore appearance, which it did as it continued through the clouds. It all happened at the terrace above MR Kurup Auditorium at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR in Sriharikota, a high-security, walled-in compound fringed with trees. Spectators were allowed onto the terrace at 9:15 a.m., only minutes before the historic 9:28 a.m. launch and after thorough security checks. Much of the crowd was made up of friends and families of the scientists who worked on the PSLV-C37 launch because only team members were authorized to hand out passes to watch the launch live.
However, many still traveled from across the country to witness history, and found a contact at ISRO to vouch for them, and others were admitted for educational or professional purposes. My husband, brother and I made the trek from Mumbai—a two-day trip for a two-minute event—and we would do it again in a heartbeat. My husband always wanted to be an astronaut, and watching a rocket launch live always topped a list of things he wanted to do before he turns 30, which will happen this July. We reached out to an ISRO scientist on Twitter who was kind enough to arrange passes for us after a background check and ID verification. Like a cherry on top, a couple of young scientists were assigned to welcome us to ISRO. They took us on a fascinating tour of the on-campus space museum, and answered hundreds of our questions patiently.
Of the 104 satellites launched into orbit, three were built indigenously. The Cartosat 2D comprised the major payload of the PSLV-C37. It is a high-resolution Earth-observation satellite that will help to map water resources, road networks and land usage. Two other nano-satellites were Indian. The bulk of the mission’s passengers came from the U.S., the origin of 88 satellites. The Netherlands, Kazakhstan and Switzerland represented the other customers, and the UAE and Israel contributed a satellite each—a significant step in the Arab world and Israel working together.
ISRO’s commercial arm, Antrix Corporation Limited, covered half of the mission’s expenses by selling tickets for foreign satellites to stowaway. India has now put more foreign satellites in space than any other single country, with PSLV-C37 bringing its total to 180.
All 104 satellites were housed in the top, conical section of the rocket, a structure measuring about 60 feet long. The rest of the vehicle carried fuel and other technical detailing. To fit every satellite into the available space was a major challenge for the scientists, not unlike a high-tech version of Tetris.
The crowd was moved back to the downstairs auditorium afterwards. Before the launch, we were shown the bustling mission control room on a big screen. In its wake, we were sitting with refreshments for the next phase.
In about 15 minutes, the rocket cut through the atmosphere and reached its planned orbit. Then, the satellites began to separate. A few technical announcements broke the air, and we were informed that all 104 satellites had begun orbiting. A string of cheers rippled through the auditorium, leaving a trail of glowing pride.
“India is 104 not out,” said an ISRO official in a congratulatory speech, followed by more cheers. The crowd beamed knowingly at the cricket terminology—most of our global achievements seem to be related to the sport. Over the last few years, we’ve had poor showings at the Olympics, slipped several significant spots in world university rankings and ranked consistently near the bottom of livability indices. Amid rainy weather, in just two years ISRO, like the PSLV-C37’s cloud-clearing encore, emerged like a ray of hope. After the Mangalyaan Mars Orbiter Mission of 2013, which was the world’s most frugal Mars rover, was an indigenous cryogenic engine. And now, this.
Decimating the world record wasn’t entirely the point. According to a July 2016 government release, Antrix earned revenues of approximately Rs 230 crore in 2016 through commercial launch services, about 0.6 percent of the global launch services market. While official figures have not been released yet, with 104 satellites in a single launch, Antrix is likely to eclipse that figure exponentially with a single event.
Antrix offers space launches at such a reasonable price: US$3 million per satellite from 2013 to 2015, versus US$60 million from U.S.-based SpaceX. For this reason, many foreign customers remain interested, according to data from MoneyControl. Other launch vehicles such as Ukraine’s Proton rocket, Japan’s HII-A, China’s Long March and United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V—all cost considerably more than a PSLV launch from India.
While SpaceX is working on reusable spacecraft, which could significantly bring costs down, ISRO is focused on offering competitive services, as well as technology development. The PSLV-C37 achievement cements India’s position in the global space chase and is likely to inspire future innovation. ISRO has offered support to Team Indus, an ambitious private Indian project to plant the Indian flag on the moon. Team Indus is the only Indian team yet to secure a contract with Google’s space program, Google Lunar XPrize, to launch a moon mission. The firm will use ISRO’s PSLV as the launch vehicle for the mission scheduled for December 2017. A crowdfunding campaign is set to be launched in the next few days as dreams start following into the sky.
Perhaps most importantly, ISRO’s record validates India’s progress for many citizens.
“We achieved what even NASA couldn’t,” says Malvika Kommineni, 29, a homemaker who has been tracking ISRO’s activities for the past two years. Her husband surprised her with passes to the launch. The whole family, including their four-year-old daughter, drove 2.5 hours from Tirupati to Sriharikota to attend the event. “The world is watching, and they know that India is now on the map.”
Her daughter clutches a model rocket. “While other girls play with dolls, she prefers rockets,” laughs Kommineni. “She wants to be an astronaut.”
Prudhvi Nethi, an engineer based in California, made sure to mark the launch into his trip back to India. “Now, I can go back to the U.S. and brag,” he shrugs. “Not only did we break the world record, but so many American satellites are in space thanks to our scientists.”

1914-2014: The centenary of the ancient terracotta collection
Highlighted Works of Art - 2014 autumn
Hommage a Paul Arndt /1865-1937/
Following the 2008 centenary of its official foundation, in 2014 the Antiquities Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts celebrates the 100th anniversary of its "second foundation", by commemorating its acquisition of Paul Arndt's collection of small-scale terracotta sculptures. In the history of the Collection, this purchase meant far more than an increase in the Museum's holdings of ancient art.
At the time when the Museum of Fine Arts was founded, the principal role of antiquities in the new museum was to represent the genre of sculpture through works of outstanding artistic merit. Initially, it seemed sufficient for the purpose to exhibit plaster casts of the most important ancient sculptures. In 1908, however, the Museum made the first, and the largest, of several purchases which complemented the cast collection with original works of ancient art, when a collection of 135 pieces of ancient marble sculpture was purchased, on the recommendation of Antal Hekler (1882-1940) from the Munich art dealer Paul Arndt. At the time, Hekler was still working as an archaeologist and curator in the National Museum, but six years later he was already arranging the acquisition of a terracotta collection as the head of the new department of Ancient Sculpture in the Museum of Fine Arts.
Paul Arndt (1865-1937) studied classical archaeology first in Leipzig, then in Munich. He started out on an academic career with the help of his Munich professor, Heinrich Brunn; it was also on Brunn's urging, and partly in his footsteps, that in the 1890s Arndt began to publish illustrated books, which still remain fundamental to this day, for a wider public on ancient art. From 1894 onwards, he left academia, living on his private income as an independent researcher and art collector. His house in Munich became the informal centre of German classical archaeology and for collectors of ancient art. His scholarly training and contacts made it possible for him to keep abreast of the ongoing and exciting excavations which at the time were transforming our knowledge of the Classical world, while his encyclopaedic knowledge and critical judgement made him a leading expert on ancient objects on fin-de-siècle art market. It was a great period of museum foundation and philanthropy. Arndt regularly gave advice and acted as a mediator during the development of the collections of the Antikensammlung in Munich, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Copenhagen and the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam.
His role in the formation of the Antiquities Collection of the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts was largely owing to his acquaintance with Hekler, who had studied classical archaeology in Munich from 1904, and who remained in touch with Arndt even after his return to Hungary. After selling his collection of marbles to the Museum, Arndt acted as a kind of voluntary consultant for the Museum. Already in 1910, he had offered a collection of terracottas and vases for sale to the Museum, but the necessary basis for this acquisition, in terms of scholarship and connoisseurship, was laid only with the appointment of Hekler as head of department in 1914.
The collection of 650 items which arrived at the Museum a hundred years ago contained objects from the terracotta production of the more significant sites known at the time, and from all genres, each piece accompanied by careful documentation provided by the collector. Arndt moreover even accepted the condition that he would re-purchase pieces that might eventually prove to be fakes. The purpose of the present selection is to give a picture of the diversity and the wide horizons of Arndt’s collection. Each object on display was acquired in the purchase a hundred years ago. The chronological boundaries of the collection reach back to the Aegean bronze age: the earliest piece exhibited is a characteristic terracotta object of the 12th-11th centuries BC, the late period of Mycenaen culture (Late Helladic IIIB).
The integration of these "primitives" into an existing sculpture collection ran against the ruling aesthetic notions of the time, which restricted the sphere of collectible objects to "art" in the classical sense. The same holds true for the Boeotian figurines, which are much later in date (6th century BC), but are very similar in their degree of abstraction, and for the archaic figurines from Cyprus. An example of high archaic terracotta work is provided by a female bust. This came from South Italy provenance, but is modelled in a style characteristic of a Greek centre in Asia Minor, the quality of which, despite the fragmentary condition of the piece, recalls monumental statuary (1).
The largest group within the Arndt purchase was made up of Hellenistic terracotta statuettes: the class of object most widely represented in museums worldwide. These are first of all the so-called Tanagrinae (female genre figures named after Tanagra, their findspot in Boeotia). These were fashionable on the European art market already at the turn of the century, but as Arndt exaggeratedly claimed, in the first decade of the 20th century "in Budapest people don't even know what they look like" (2). The formal diversity of Hellenistic statuettes is represented by two pieces from Asia Minor with a mythological subject: a floating Eros of the so-called resting type (3), and a bust with a pathetic expression (4). The face of the latter mixes features of satyrs and Galatians (these Barbarian physiognomies evolved in the 3rd century BC art of Pergamon, following the battles with Celtic groups breaking into Asia Minor, and had a long-lasting effect in Greek art).
Among the remains of ancient terracottas, many museums also preserve moulds that were used to create the objects. The collection that Arndt sent to Budapest did not lack these either: both sides of the example shown here exhibit a line of letters incised before firing, perhaps the abbreviated signature of the craftsman. Iconographically, the piece is a rarity: to judge from the short tunic and the Phrygian cap it is a mythological herdsman figure (perhaps Attis) playing the pipe, with a landscape in the background.
The collection would not have been complete without some architectural terracottas (5). The large female head is one example of the kind of terracotta ornament that once decorated a building; the antefix (or tile decoration that closed off a row of humped tiles at the edge of a roof) with its rare and colourful polychrome painting, is another (6,7). Both exemplify the artistic culture which emerged in Italy in the late Classical and early Hellenistic age. A fragment of high-quality terracotta monumental sculpture illustrates the care with which Arndt chose the pieces he would sell to Budapest: the red-painted, almost life-size hand holding a cup, which came from the same milieu as the architectural terracottas, formed part of a Hellenistic statue from Central Italy, perhaps originally a grave-monument (8).
Arndt's collection challenged the boundaries of "Classical Antiquity" also in its geographical extension: his selection included a number of objects from the terracotta production characteristic of Graeco-Roman Egypt. At the time, Egypt was generally thought to stand on the geographical periphery of Classical culture proper. The thematic diversity and formal coherence of these objects is illustrated here with three pieces: a statuette of the Egyptian deity Bes, a Priapus-figure (a fertility god especially popular in imperial period Rome) with date palm, and the head of a female figure, perhaps also destined for a cultic context (9). Arndt and Hekler, two outstanding protagonists of the 19th- century tradition of archaeology, thus laid the prerequisites for the development of a collection in the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts that was open to what was "non-Classical" in ancient art, and which, in a move characterstic of the most progressive art-historical thought in at the turn of the 20th, ejected the rigid distinction between "high art" and "applied arts".

EU focuses on cutting food waste
Seth Dervey | November 23, 2019 | Climate, Food, Health, News | 1 Comment
Reducing waste is high on the EU’s agenda. In recent years, the EU has made pledges to get tougher on single use plastics, and protecting the environment and creating a greener, more sustainable future is something being pushed for by environmental groups, as well as many consumers.
Ahead of the Finnish Council Presidency’s conference, it’s believed that food waste will be on the new agenda. A number of companies have made commitments to reduce their food waste and the EU plans to deal with the issue by 2030. But there are still barriers to achieving this goal.
The EU has been promoting the idea of a “circular economy”. Officials say this is the “number one priority” in the upcoming European Green deal. A big part of this is tied into the EU’s efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, but there are other aspects, including food waste.
The circular economy of food waste has the potential to make a huge impact environmentally and socially. And while the focus has primarily been on plastic recently, the EU creates an estimated 88 million tons of food waste every year, costing an estimated €143 billion.
And with this figure predicted to rise to 126 million tons by next year, there has been a surge in interest in how food waste can be recycled or redistributed. For example, lots of companies have shown interest in donating excess food to charities and others have set targets to reduce waste.
Among others, Kellogg’s has announced ambitious targets to reduce waste by finding others uses for food that would be thrown away. This includes collaborations with other sectors and creating value from waste products, such as its latest initiative with Seven Bro7hers brewery to turn waste grains into beer.
In 2018, the EU changed its waste legislation and called for EU countries to take more action at tackling waste in every stage of the supply chain, and to get better at measuring and reporting levels of waste. It’s hoped that this will make an impact in changing food systems and reducing these figures.

The Hitchcock Project-Joel Murcott Part Eight: What Frightened You, Fred? [7.30]
"What Frightened You, Fred?" begins with the title character back in prison, less than 48 hours after he was released, being questioned by Warden Bragan and a psychiatrist named Dr. Cullen. The psychiatrist asks probing questions to try to find out what drove Fred to commit an act that would land him back in jail. Fred is 55 years old and he has been in prison on and off for 25 years. He has been a typist and file clerk for the warden, who recently announced that he is running for governor.
Fred recalls walking out of the prison gates on Thursday, hoping that Tony Wando might have sent a car to pick him up for old time's sake after he had been in prison for four years. No car arrives, so Fred takes a two-hour train ride back home and approaches Big Mike Kowalski's bar, but he refuses to go inside for a drink because he is on parole and he is supposed to report to work at a warehouse the following Monday.
Back in the present, Dr. Cullen and Warden Bragan continue speaking with Fred, who got drunk and broke a tavern window, a parole violation that will result in him spending another fourteen months in jail. The warden recalls that Fred's only trouble during his prior four-year stint in prison occurred when he was caught hiding a knife in his mattress; Fred recalls that he intended to kill another inmate, but someone else did the job first. Dr. Cullen theorizes that Fred was frightened of the outside world and wanted to be back in prison where he felt comfortable. Bragan does not believe it and the two men argue about Cullen's theory.
"What Frightened You, Fred?"
was first published here
Fred recalls going back to his old rooming house and convincing Mrs. Carr to let him stay. He lay in bed, alone in his room, listening to sounds inside and outside the rooming house and thinking about how they differ from the sounds inside the prison. Back in the present, Dr. Cullen continues to explain Fred's situation and motivation; Fred's four-year jail term was punishment for armed robbery and Bragan insists that Fred is back because he is "'plain stupid.'"
Fred remembers that, on Friday, Tony Wando telephoned him and he visited Wando at his apartment on the top floor of the Sheldon Building. Fred told Tony that he sweats when he thinks of being in prison and Tony told Fred about a job that he wanted Fred to do, adding that Fred is perfect for the job because he is good with a knife and will be able to direct suspicion away from the syndicate. The victim is getting independent ideas and will start his own organization if he gets to the state capitol. "'Bragan was nothing when I picked him up,'" says Tony, who promised to pay Fred $1000 per month for his fourteen months in prison. After this conversation, Fred left Wando's apartment, got drunk, "smashed a tavern window and waited for the cops to pick me up. I had a job to do inside the walls."
R.G. Armstrong as Fred Riordan
"What Frightened You, Fred?" was written by prolific short story author Jack Ritchie and was published in the May 1958 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Told in the first person by Fred, the story alternates between scenes in the present, as Bragan and Cullen speak with Fred, and scenes in the days before that, between Fred's release from prison and his impending return to prison. The title is ironic; it turns out that nothing frightened Fred! Dr. Cullen is wrong in his assessment of Fred's reasons for returning so quickly to jail. Warden Bragan's assessment is closer to the truth, but Fred is not stupid; his act was calculated and intentional, driven by greed and a life of crime.
Joel Murcott adapted the story for Alfred Hitchcock Presents and it aired on NBC on Tuesday, May 1, 1962, near the end of season seven. The title question has a much different answer in the TV version than it does in the short story.
While the story begins after Fred has already smashed the bar window, been arrested, and been taken to prison, the TV show begins with two policemen sitting in a patrol car as they observe Fred stagger out of the bar, take a drink from a bottle, then turn and throw the bottle, smashing the front window. He is arrested on the spot and found to be a parole violator.
Edward Asner as Warden Bragan
Fred is brought into the warden's office and the scene closely follows the first part of the corresponding scene in the short story, though it ends before any discussion of Fred's former job in prison or the warden's plan to run for governor. Instead, there is a dissolve to Fred preparing to leave the prison. He signs for his possessions and speaks with Bragan; Fred's demeanor and mood are noticeably brighter than they were in the first scene, which took place after his arrest. It is immediately clear that he and the warden have a friendly relationship; he was the warden's clerk and his boss made sure he had a suit that fit when he was released. Bragan compliments Fred and encourages him to succeed, adding that they were raised in the same neighborhood and mentioning that he is running for governor. Fred says that he would vote for Bragan if he had a vote and, in this scene, Fred's future looks as bright as possible under the circumstances.
There is another dissolve (the way scenes move between the present and the past) to the sidewalk in front of the bar, where Kowalski, the bartender, is much friendlier and more welcoming on Fred's arrival after his release from prison than he is in the short story. Kowalski's attitude toward Fred makes life outside the prison walls look promising, if only for a moment. Another dissolve returns to the present in the warden's office as Dr. Cullen probes, trying to discover what happened while Fred was outside that led him to act in a way certain to send him back inside. For the TV show, this scene is shortened from what it is on the page. The TV version presents a clear contrast between the scenes inside and outside the prison, though the welcome greeting Fred receives from Kowalski is not to be repeated when he gets to his old rooming house.
Adam Williams as Dr. Cullen
The short story's Mrs. Carr becomes Mae in the TV show, and she is a middle-aged, attractive woman who is not happy to see Fred. He is surprised and disappointed but he keeps at it until she relents a bit and invites him into the kitchen for coffee. It becomes apparent that the two had a romantic relationship before he went to prison--she tells him that she was "'not waiting for you'" and when he mentions that he wrote to her she says that she used his letters to light the fire. He puts his hand on top of hers but she pushes it off and, when she stands up, he grabs her from behind and kisses her neck. She pulls away and tells him, "'You're a roomer, Fred--that's all.'" This scene demonstrates that life on the outside may not be so great for Fred; Joel Murcott's decision to expand this scene from the short story is an effective way to show that Fred's life outside the prison walls may not be all that he had hoped for.
There is another dissolve back to the warden's office, where it is established that Bragan will let Fred resume his job as the warden's clerk. Cullen asks once again, "'What frightened you out there?'" but Fred lies and says that nothing happened. After another dissolve, the scene returns to the rooming house, where Mae takes a telephone call for Fred, who comes downstairs and speaks to Tony Wando. Wando asks Fred to meet him at the cemetery where he visits the grave of his mother every Wednesday; the gangster tells Fred that there is a grave next to the grave of Wando's mother that nobody ever visits. The scene that follows replaces the scene that ends the short story and takes the show in a new direction.
Steven Peccaro as Tony Wando
There is no dissolve from one scene to another this time, since the scene does not switch back to the present in the warden's office. Instead, there is a fade out and then a fade in to the cemetery, where Tony approaches his mother's grave and places a bouquet of flowers on the ground. Fred soon follows and stands in front of the adjoining grave. Tony offers Fred $25,000 for the two years he will spend in prison for violating parole but, unlike the story, where Fred does not reject the offer, in the TV show he initially refuses. Tony then threatens Fred, telling him that he knows about the only job Fred ever got away with, when he held up a delicatessen and killed a man with a knife. Tony tells Fred:
"I could send you to the death house with a ten-cent phone call. A guy saw you throw a paper bag down the sewer the night that delicatessen owner was murdered. A guy who works for me. There was a knife in the bag, Fred. I still got it. I'll bet your fingerprints are still on it. ... Whose grave will I put flowers on the next time, Fred? Yours, or Warden Bragan's?"
With this scene, Joel Murcott makes a significant change to the story. In Ritchie's short story, Fred was not frightened at all and Dr. Cullen was off the mark in his assessment of his reasons for returning to prison. In the TV show, Cullen is correct--Wando's threat did frighten Fred and that's why he's back in jail. Fred's past criminal activity has him in a moral dilemma. Should he accede to Wando's wishes and earn $25,000 for murdering a man who has been a friend to him, or should he refuse to do the gangster's bidding and face the death penalty for a crime he committed in the past? The decision seems obvious for Fred, who long ago went down the wrong path in his life and now finds himself unable to break the cycle of crime and prison.
Eve McVeagh as Mae
Murcott adds one more short scene, back in the warden's office. Fred maintains that he did not see or speak to anyone before getting drunk and Bragan promises to reassign the convict to his office as a clerk. Fred smiles and thanks the warden, and the viewer understands what Bragan and Cullen do not--that Fred plans to carry out Wando's order and murder the man who has helped him.
"What Frightened You, Fred?" is a good short story that was adapted into an excellent episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Joel Murcott's changes to the story expand its scope, make it more visually interesting, and make the title, Dr. Cullen's questions, and Fred's motivations more clear.
The show is directed by Paul Henreid (1908-1992), who began his career as a film actor. His career as a director started in the early 1950s and he directed 29 episodes of the Hitchcock show, including "A Little Sleep."
Jack Ritchie (1922-1983), who wrote the short story on which the TV show was based, was born John Reitci and had over 500 short stories published between 1953 and 1983. Three of his stories were adapted for the Hitchcock show, including "Anyone for Murder?" He won an Edgar Award in 1982 and there is an extensive website dedicated to him here.
Kreg Martin as Kowalski
R.G. Armstrong (1917-2012) stars as Fred Riordan. Armstrong was on four Hitchcock shows, including "Final Vow," and had a long career, spanning the years from 1954-2001. He was in many westerns. Online sources report that he grew up in a family of fundamentalists and that his mother wanted him to be a pastor, but he became an actor instead and his onscreen roles sometimes played off the tension between his upbringing and his profession.
Co-starring as Warden Bragan is Edward Asner (1929-2021), whose long career on screen lasted from 1957 until his death. Asner appeared in one other episode of the Hitchcock TV show, along with an episode of The Outer Limits, but he is best known for his role as the crusty news editor Lou Grant, first on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-1977) and then on Lou Grant (1977-1982). In his career, Asner won an impressive seven Emmy Awards.
Adam Williams (1922-2006) plays Dr. Cullen; a Navy pilot in World War Two, he was on screen from 1951 to 1978. He appeared in Fritz Lang's The Big Heat (1953) and he had a memorable role in Hitchcock's North By Northwest (1959). He was in one other episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents ("Listen, Listen.....!") as well as episodes of The Twilight Zone and Thriller.
In smaller roles:
Steven Peccaro (1929-2005) as Tony Wando; born Ignacio Pecoraro, he also acted under the name Steven Peck. He was a choreographer who ran a dance studio in the 1950s before embarking on a screen acting career that lasted from 1958 to 1986.
Eve McVeagh (1919-1997) as Mae; she acted on Broadway and on radio and had a screen career from 1946 to 1987. She was on The Twilight Zone and Thriller and she appeared in six episodes of the Hitchcock show, including "The Gloating Place."
Kreg Martin as Kowalski; in a short TV career from 1962-1963 he was seen on The Twilight Zone and in seven episodes of the Hitchcock show, including "Maria."

Future Carbon Tax Implementation and Current Climate Solutions in Italy
Italy is already experiencing the extreme impacts of climate change, especially rising temperatures that cause heat wave events. In response, the country is considering measures to help mitigate climate change. The carbon tax is a tax imposed by the government that requires carbon emitters (most often businesses) to pay a fee for each ton of carbon emissions they produce.
In this article, you will learn about how Italy is planning for the implementation of a carbon tax, and their existing alternative solutions to reduce carbon emissions.
Future Implementation of Carbon Tax in Italy
Current Solutions to Reduce Carbon Emissions in Italy
Future Implementation of a Carbon Tax in Italy
Why might Italy need a carbon tax?
As announced in 2021, Italy is planning to reduce its carbon emissions by 60% by 2030. However, the country does not have an existing direct carbon tax yet to support this goal. Currently, they depend on the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), which operates as a cap-and-trade system. Under this system, the government sets a limit on the amount of greenhouse gasses that specific sectors are allowed to emit in countries where ETS is applied.
A cap-and-trade system like this is similar to a carbon tax, because it places a financial burden on greenhouse gas emitters. However, the cap-and-trade system puts a price on the amount of gas emitted, whereas a carbon tax puts a price on carbon itself.
Read more about carbon taxes versus cap-and-trade systems: A Cost Benefit Analysis of the Carbon Tax
Italy’s carbon reduction objective will be difficult to achieve solely through the ETS, because the ETS cap-and-trade rules do not apply to all sectors within the country, even if they emit greenhouse gasses. In fact, non-ETS sectors (sectors where the EU ETS does not apply) account for around 60% of the country’s overall carbon emissions. Non-ETS sectors include large carbon emitters such as transportation, agriculture, waste, and residential sectors.
For example, Italy’s transportation sector alone is responsible for almost a quarter of its total carbon emissions. Despite its numerous public transportation options, Italy is still one of the countries with the most private vehicles in all of the EU.
In order to achieve carbon emission reduction goals by 2030, some experts believe that these non-ETS sectors must be addressed with stricter and more direct policies, like an implementation of a carbon tax in Italy.
The beginnings of a carbon tax in Italy
In order to create a carbon tax with a minimal negative impact on low-income companies, small businesses, and households, the Italian government is considering implementing a carbon tax based on a “polluter-pays” concept. The polluter pays concept is the backing behind many carbon taxes, as it argues that companies that pollute or contribute to climate change should be the ones to pay the price through a charge on carbon. Under this concept, the companies or individuals that contribute to global warming in larger amounts will face a larger financial burden of the tax.
The implementation of a carbon tax in Italy is intended to lower private transportation demand in the residential sector. Government data analysis concluded that the carbon tax in Italy would motivate households to reduce their fuel consumption. A carbon tax in Italy would likely also encourage switching to energy-efficient alternative practices and equipment in residential sectors through the incentives from the carbon tax revenue. However, since transportation is essential to many businesses, the commercial sector’s carbon emissions from transportation may not be reduced even with the implementation of a carbon tax.
The government would allocated revenue from the carbon tax in Italy to different initiatives that could benefit the public, including:
Supporting and funding the development of better transportation infrastructure that could lessen the numbers of private vehicle usage
Reducing other taxes like labor tax
Supporting and funding the transition to renewable energy sources
Today, a true carbon tax in Italy has yet to be implemented. The country, however, has alternative solutions for dealing with the issue of its carbon emissions.
The fuel excise tax: a carbon tax in Italy?
While a conventional price on carbon (a carbon tax) has not been created in Italy, as of 2021, 77.4% of carbon emissions from energy were “priced” by a fuel excise tax. This means that around 77% of all carbon emissions were “paid for” in the form of a tax on fuel burning.
Italy’s fuel excise tax applies to many different types of energy-use, including the use of oil products, natural gas, and coal. The energy used to create electricity is also taxed, although at a lower rate. A tax on burning fuel acts very similarly to a carbon tax, as it puts a financial burden on carbon emitters, and incentivizes less burning of fossil fuels.
Since carbon tax implementation in Italy is still in the planning phase, there are other programs and initiatives the country is focusing on to reduce its carbon emissions. Here are the recent updates on Italy’s climate actions to help them achieve their emission reduction goals.
Improved national forestry policy
In 2018, the government issued a new legislative framework that aims to improve the country’s forestry policies to increase carbon sequestration.
Initiating a forestry program is intended to provide information on companies and individuals involved in the forestry industry. The goal is to increase the efficiency of the forest’s carbon-capturing ability and raise the quality of its products.
Additionally, due to recent shifts in how Italians utilize their lands, the country’s forests have grown in size. This can have a huge impact on reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
Transition to renewable energy
By 2030, Italy intends to double its solar energy production and triple its wind energy production. The country believes that the key factor to achieving this goal is to phase out coal-sourced energy in the electrical supply industry. According to the trajectory of the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, 55% of the electricity supply in 2030 will be sourced from renewable energy sources such as solar, bioenergy, wind, and hydropower.

The implementation of a carbon tax in Italy is still in the planning phase, although the country does have a few similar measures already in place. Today, Italy’s solutions to reduce its emissions rely on nature-based policies and switching to renewable energy. Here are the key takeaways:
Italy relies on a cap-and-trade program, the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), and a fuel excise tax for the reduction of carbon emissions in the country
The Italian government is considering implementing a carbon tax based on a “polluter-pays” concept to minimize the impact of the tax on low-income households and small businesses.
Italy also plans to increase carbon sequestration through forestry and increase reliance on renewable energy.

This is Anite Rée’s first retrospective in a museum. It is not a coincidence that the Hamburger Kunsthalle dedicates so much efforts to develop this extensive exhibition, as the artist herself had a close relationship with this institution when alive.
With loans from Germany, England, Switzerland and USA, around 200 artworks are displayed including paintings, drawings, watercolours and objects. Besides this cooperation gathering the oeuvres, an exhaustive research has also been made to discover the person, the woman Anita Rée was, to understand the active, conscious, mindful, confident and highly-educated artist that moved herself in different worlds. Through all these pieces, it is possible to imagine the strong yet fragile woman Rée was, as the visitor can understand the polarities or dichotomies that shaped her life. You may perceive the solid and joyful woman but also sense her susceptibility and understand the sadness and lock-up she also went through.
The exhibition starts making clear its intentions of going beyond the exposure of works: right from the beginning they analyse and reveal the language Rée developed, by presenting together three paintings Rée made of the same woman, a friend’s housemaid. Through these paintings, the three elements that were considered important by the artist are showed: the motive is a simple, humble woman. The painting shows her in a room in her volume, let’s say in 3D. And, of course, it is a portrait.
I discovered a restless artist that was continuously motivated by her questions and relations. She experimented with different techniques and motives, inspired from different scopes, just as her own life was, experiencing different paths simultaneously on her daily existence. She grew up in Hamburg as a protestant with Jew and Venezuelan origins, she lived alone an independent, she was an emancipated woman who did not fear to move and live somewhere new, but being at the same time vulnerable, for example under the Nazi threat. At the time, her lifestyle was uncommon and so is the result of her work.
A comprehensive catalogue in German and English has also been published, which is expected to help spread this artist’s work abroad. Until now, there is unfortunately a lack of information of Anita Rée available for non-German speakers.

Hillary Clinton Complains of Media Bias - What Da?
The mainstream media hath no shame, no pride, no Integrity in sliming Donald Trump. The mainstream media has been carrying Secretary Clinton’s water and covering up for her, but it’s become a heavy burden. The mainstream media has an almost 6 decade history of sliming Republican nominees for President, starting with Vice President Nixon in 1960. He was “Tricky Dickie.” They eventually got their way by blowing up Watergate, ignoring the illegal acts of the Kennedys and Johnsons. Hath the mainstream media no shame in its vicious, visceral Republican animus? Nope, Cokie Roberts of ABC and NPR called Obama backers “morally tainted.” Chris Matthews, who once said President Obama “sent a tingle up his leg,” said vote for Hillary or don’t vote. Hath the media no integrity? Jim Rutenberg on the front page of the New York Times wrote: “If you view a trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that.” Let me add, especially if the publisher of the New York Times, Pinch Sulzberger, wants you to. Senator Barry Goldwater was portrayed as a fascist war-mongrel, who would drag the country into war. As with Donald Trump, Senator Goldwater’s own words came back to haunt him. President Ford was a dumb klutz. Governor Reagan was a stupid, wild cowboy. President Reagan was losing it. President George H. W. Bush was an eastern elitist out of touch with the American people. Sounds a lot like Governor Mitt Romney. Governor George W. Bush was a stupid, draft dodging dunce, perhaps a cokehead. Senator McCain owned a large number of rich homes. Governor Palin was crucified by the media. The media trashed Governor Romney by repeating libels of Senator Harry Reid and President Obama’s Associate Campaign Manager, Stephanie Cutler. Senator Reid entered Congress poor and became a multi-millionaire through sweetheart real estate transactions, but, except for the Los Angeles Times, the media ignored his chicanery.. The media would have dumped on Donald Trump if he had said he “short-circuited” an answer, which was a lie. Secretary Clinton received a pass from the media on her short-circuit. The New York Times lambasted Paul Manaford for supposedly receiving $12 million from a dubious Ukrainian. Yet, they did not mention Bill Clinton’s $500,000 speaking fee from a Russian company. The Russian company received State Department approval to acquire a Canadian company which controlled much of the uranium production in America. That is apparently what Secretary Clinton meant by a Russian “reset.” The Secretary also met with a Ukrainian businessman, who donated $8.6 million to the Clinton Foundation. Two more media examples. Donald Trump said he would subject immigrants from certain countries to “extreme scrutiny” if they wished to enter the United States. The Los Angeles Times’ front page headline was: Trump seeks ‘extreme’ test for immigrants,” making his statement appear extreme. The ScienceTimes section of the New York Times featured a front page article on whether psychotherapists should analyze public figures. The “Goldwater Rule” of the American Psychiatric Association, adopted in 1973, says it’s unethical to do so. The article neutral on its face, repeats all the charges on his sanity. By way of contrast, the media does not discuss the issue of Secretary Clinton’s health. She suffered a major concussion in December 2012 and appears to be suffering from Post-concussion symbol. She appears confused and wobbly on occasions, Headaches, confusion, hesitations in speech, being wobbly have characterized her recent appearances, but have been ignored by the media. President Obama lives by the teleprompter (TOTUS) without a peep from the media, but it’s newsworthy to the media when Donald Trump uses it a few times. President George W. Bush was crucified by the media and democrats for not properly handling Hurricane Katrina. Presidential candidate Senator Obama mocked him for doing a flyover. Yet, Louisiana, which is suffering the greatest flooding since Hurricane Sandy and 115,000 displaced, will not interfere with the President’s golfing on Martha’s Vineyard. Secretary Clinton phoned it in to Louisiana’s governor, while Donald Trump was in Louisiana today helping out. Finally, the President was shamed into announcing he will go to Louisiana on Tuesday after 8 rounds in 12 days. ____________________________________________________________________________ That was the draft from 3 weeks ago. Now we can say that Yes, some media do have a sense of journalistic integrity. The pay to play corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the State Department was too much too swallow. Many of the mainstream media have said enough is enough. It’s time to end the Clinton Foundation. They recognize that this is not just Hillary Clinton’s boring email Republican witch hunt. They now know, and we now know, why the Secretary of State set up a private email server to handle her personal and government email, and continued to lie about it. It was to prevent discovery of incriminating, essential corrupt, transactions by the Clintons. They used the Foundation as the front for pay to play. It also explains why the Clintons tried to erase the servers. The Secretary when asked about scrubbing the server, arrogantly joked “You mean with a brush?’ (cackle, cackle) The Associated Press led the way. It reported that based on the State Department logs, Secretary Clinton had 154 meetings with person s who were not federal employees or foreign government representatives. 85 of these were with donors to the Clinton Foundation. Their contributions totaled at least $156 million. An additional $170 million, give or take a few dollars, came from 16 foreign governments. The Secretary’s response is that the AP did not tell the full story. That’s correct because the State Department has only released 2 years of logs, and is dragging its feet on the other 2 years. The Secretary and her acolytes are now complaining of media bias against her for continuing to discuss her emails and now her health. Matt Lauer in hosting the Commander in Chief Forum on September 7 was criticized by the media for asking her a hardball question on her media, noting FBI Director Comey’s statements questioning her factual statements on the emails. She said she disagreed with the FBI Director. He was simply doing his job. Questions have been circulating about her health. She and her people denied any health issues. They also blame it on more of the right wing conservative and alt right. She collapsed in public after several coughing fits in public. Finally, her doctor confirmed she has pneumonia. However, no MRI’s have been released, a critical tool in light of her past concussion. One her answers to the FBI about State Department instructions about classified information was that she couldn’t remember because of her concussion. She still seems to be wearing sun glasses They complain of the extensive free publicity the media gave Donald Trump during the primaries. They did, but a substantial amount was the nature of “Can you believe what he just said?” Media bias? General Colin Powell’s emails have been hacked and released. He had unfavorable comments about the two candidates. He called Donald Trump a “national disgrace and international pariah.” That received substantial airplay on CNN. The General’s comments of Hillary Clinton were just as brutal. Two statements especially stand out. The first is “Everything H.R.C. touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” The second is that he would ‘rather not have to vote for her.” She “has a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformative.” Hubris Arrogance That and her pathological mendacity are her problems. She’s not used to media criticism. She doesn’t expect it, and can’t handle it.

Jon Rahm named 2019 Hilton European Tour Golfer of the Year
Jon Rahm, the reigning Race to Dubai Champion, has been named the 2019 Hilton European Tour Golfer of the Year.
Rahm was selected by a panel comprising members of the golfing media as the winner of the prestigious annual award after a superb season in which he won two Rolex Series events, defended his national Open title and became the first Spaniard since Severiano Ballesteros to finish the year as European Number One after sealing the Race to Dubai title in a dramatic finale to the 2019 campaign.
The 25-year-old finished tied ninth at The Masters, tied third in the U.S. Open and was runner-up at the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Valderrama Masters before securing his first European Tour title of the year at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open – his third Rolex Series victory in the space of three years.
He came close to claiming another Rolex Series title in September, finishing runner-up to Danny Willett at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club, after rounds of 66-67-68-70 on his debut in the event.
On home soil, at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, Rahm defended a title for the first time in his career as he won the Mutuactivos Open de España in the Spanish capital. The Spaniard stormed to victory in front of an adoring home crowd, carding a third round of 63 to take a five-stroke lead, which he then maintained as he finished on 22 under par.
His remarkable consistency throughout 2019 gave him the opportunity to win the Race to Dubai for the first time in his career at the final event of the season, the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai – an event he previously won in 2017.
Rahm shared the lead going into the final round, and then secured the victory on the 18th hole at Jumeirah Golf Estates, getting up and down from a greenside bunker for birdie to hold off the challenge of 2017 Race to Dubai Champion Tommy Fleetwood and win his fourth Rolex Series title, the richest first prize in tournament golf of US$3million and the 2019 Race to Dubai.
Rahm became just the second Spaniard in history to win the Harry Vardon Trophy as European Number One, following in Ballesteros’s footsteps – who won the Tour’s Order of Merit for the sixth and final time in 1991. Rahm now joins Ballesteros (1986, 88, 91) and Sergio Garcia (2017) as the third Spaniard to receive the European Tour’s Golfer of the Year award.
“It is a huge honour for me to be named the Hilton European Tour Golfer of the Year,” said Rahm, who announced as the winner at a lunch held at The Biltmore Mayfair Hotel in London. “To emulate another of Seve’s achievements in winning this award is very humbling, and I’m so proud of what I have achieved this year.
“To win both the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and DP World Tour Championship for a second time, as well as defend the Open de España, were all incredible moments.
“But to finish the year as winner of the Race to Dubai is something I’m incredibly proud of achieving at this early stage in my career.”
Keith Pelley, Chief Executive Officer of the European Tour, said: “The 2019 European Tour season had so many stand-out moments, not least the dramatic finale at the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai when Jon earned his place in European Tour history, joining the legendary Seve Ballesteros as the only other Spaniard to become Europe’s Number One player.
“For Jon to win the Race to Dubai in the manner that he did, with so much pressure on that final hole, simply underlines what an incredible competitor he is. However, this award also recognises the hugely impressive standard of his performances across the year and it demonstrates the strength we have on the European Tour that there were a number of worthy contenders for this award, including Shane Lowry who narrowly missed out despite winning The Open and a Rolex Series event.
“Jon has a wonderful future ahead of him and he is undoubtedly a deserving winner of the 2019 Hilton European Tour Golfer of the Year award.”
Panellist Alistair Tait, Golfweek Senior Writer, said: “This was one of the most keenly debated Golfer of Year panels we’ve had for a number of years, with Shane Lowry’s unforgettable victory in The Open Championship at Royal Portrush the standout performance of 2019 on the European Tour and an iconic moment in our sport.
“But after much discussion, Jon’s remarkably high standard of performance across the season tipped the scales in his favour as he became only the second Spaniard after the legendary Seve to become European Number One.
“His three victories were each hugely impressive in their own right and each achieved on very different golf courses, underlining how rounded Jon is as an elite player.
“Like Seve was before him, Jon will be a central figure in European golf for many years to come, and he is a very worthy winner of the Hilton European Tour Golfer of the Year award.”

DANCING UNDER WATER
A story on the island "Ill de beaute".
Special feature Forlan 6 Studio
Change. Tension. duality. These are the concepts that struck us during our trip to the central coast of California.
When we travel, we’re searching for the essence of a region during a moment in time. We’re looking for a recurring theme, the central complication that defines life in a place and how that place’s people are trying to address it.
This latest dispatch from The Collective Quarterly floats in a right triangle between Santa Barbara to the west, Ojai to the east, and Ventura to the south. Consistent, perfect waves roll in off the point break and caress this parched patch of land. It’s a place where the oaky scent of chaparral wafts in the air after a light drizzle, and hot springs bubble up from the earth in the arid Sespe Wilderness. It’s a stretch of coastal highway where motorcyclists gallop their iron ponies at full throttle.
These three cities can, at times, feel caught in the peculiar moment of change between night and day: Santa Barbara’s first impression feels like a contradiction, a place that is part retirement community, part haven for renegade artists who live in its industrial zone. Ojai is home to a strange friction between native citizens and transplants who have come seeking some shade of peace or spiritual enlightenment. And Ventura is a gritty surf town with an occupational dichotomy: environmentally conscious outdoor retailer Patagonia is headquartered here, within eyesight of hulking oil platforms moored offshore.
These cities defy categorization as a group. Yet, they exist within 35 miles of one another, in the shadow of the Topatopa Mountains.
When we visited the Central Coast, we found a collection of wild souls: the Southern belle who explores the scary creatures inside her head (p. 30), the Seattle-born surfer who’s making waves with his exquisitely freehand-shaped boards (p. 40), the Ojai native who strives to make sense of the otherworldly energy that draws eccentric characters from all over the world to his hometown (p. 134), and the Ventura townie who might just be California’s version of a genuine, self-proclaimed redneck (p. 146).
Each of these characters gave us a small window into the way a place grapples with what it was—and what it is now.

Conservative Republican definition
Establishment Republicans Want to Redefine the Term "Conservative"
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Folks, this is a little Inside Baseball, but it's important because he who controls the language ends up winning the debate, and it might seem like a small thing, but I have learned and I have been given to understand that the "establishment Republicans" hate the term. They don't like being called "establishment Republicans, " and they are trying to change the term to "establishment conservatives" and in the process co-opt the definition of "conservative" and conservatism. It's not something that you'll notice if you watch cable news or even read. You have to be able to see the stitches on the fastball, you have to be able to read between the lines, and you have to know some stuff going on behind the scenes (and, of course, I am in a position to know these kinds of things).
So don't doubt me on this. The establishment Republicans are the establishment Republicans. The Republican leadership is the Republican establishment, meaning the elites. They
hate it and they are in the process of trying to redefine who conservatives are and what it is - and if they succeed, the conservatism that you and I hold dear will no longer be the definition of conservatism. If they succeed, the current thinking of the Republican establishment will be what is called modern day conservatism. Don't doubt me on this. It sounds like a small thing, but in a daily ebb and flow you'll not even see any news about this, but it's in important because it's crucial who controls the language, who controls the way words are defined.
You and I know that the establishment Republicans don't like conservatives. They didn't like Reagan. They were embarrassed of Reagan. They were embarrassed of us. They didn't like the Moral Majority, they didn't like the Christian right, they don't like the pro-lifers. They don't like the social conservatives at all. They're embarrassed by us, in many ways, with their other buddies, the establishment Democrats - which combined gives us the Washington establishment, and they very much prefer to be members of that club than ours. But they know that it doesn't help them to be called "establishment Republicans." So they're trying to take the term "conservative" and co-opt it and define it as they behave, write, speak, and even vote on matters of politics.

Our lines of effort
Defence procurement
Procurement is a critical part of the development of defence capabilities, but reform has not yet been completed here.
The core team of the MOD Reforms Project office has created a vision and a framework for the new defence procurement system. This model laid the foundation of the recently adopted Law “On Defence Procurement”.
Our report describes the target model of the defence procurement system and provides a roadmap for the transition to this model. It explains the logic behind the provisions of the new law. It outlines what the reformed system must look like to meet today’s challenges and the expectations of the defence forces and of civil society.
The study takes into account Ukrainian and foreign experience and is the first fundamental work on this issue in the history of Ukraine.
Today, the team is working on further bylaws and regulations for defence procurement.

2019 - 2020 Academic Senate Meeting Schedule
Mesa College has a very active Academic Senate that meets twice each month during the fall and spring semesters. We have fully invested and extremely involved faculty participants.
The Senate serves as a forum for faculty to discuss issues that impact the faculty and our students. Senate resolutions that address these issues are brought forth by the Senate Executive Officers to the appropriate District and College committees for consideration.
The Senate is composed of full-time faculty senators representing every department at the college and five adjunct senators representing part-time faculty.
The Mesa College Academic Senate also seeks the support of the State Academic Senate in professional and curricular matters.
In accordance with provisions of the California Education Code, the faculty at-large nominates and duly elects a President Elect to serve a four-year term and a Secretary, Treasurer, two Senators at Large and a Vice President to serve two-year terms as Senate Executive Officers. The President Elect assumes the role of President during the second year of their term and serves as President for two years. The President also serves as the Delegate to the Statewide Academic Senate and represents the Senate at the Area D regional meetings and fall/spring Plenary sessions for the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) http://asccc.org/. The President serves a one- year term as the Immediate Past-President after serving two years as President as a member of the Senate Executive Committee in order to provide continuity.
AB 1725, the California Education Code and Title 5 of the Barclays California Code of Regulations give our Senate the authority to maintain its functions and responsibilities at San Diego Mesa College.
The Senate is closely aligned and coordinated with each department through a council of department chairs. The Committee of Chairs (COC) meets every month during the fall and spring semesters. The chair of the Chair of the Committee of Chairs also serves on the Senate Executive Committee.
The faculty chairs of the Academic Affairs Committee and Professional Advancement Committee (PAC) also serve on the Senate Executive Committee. The faculty co-chairs of the Curriculum Review (CRC) Committee and the Program Review Committee also serve on the Senate Executive Committee. The Academic Affairs Committee, Committee of Chairs, Curriculum Review Committee and Professional Advancement Committee are standing committees of the Academic Senate. The Curriculum Review Committee and Program Review Committee are Shared Governance committees with Administrative, Classified, Faculty, and Student representatives.
The President, President Elect or Vice President, Chair of the Committee of Chairs and Chair of Academic Affairs also serve on President's Cabinet.
The Senate offers extensive and open access to its deliberations. It promotes the interests of the faculty through its standing committees, its representation on College and District committees and its access to the San Diego Community College District's Board of Trustees.

Settlement at Wollombi began in 1829 when Surveyor General Mitchell's Great North Road was built to connect Sydney with the upper Hunter Valley.
Today the most notable features of this small isolated village are its pastoral setting and some 25 very early buildings.
The Church and Courthouse group of these buildings comprises St. John's Church (built in 1846-1849), the Courthouse and the Police Station. The existence of these buildings indicates the administrative importance of Wollombi prior to 1850.
The Church District of Wollombi was created in 1849 with the appointment of the Rev. John F. R. Whinfield. The Parish included the districts now known as Broke, Laguna, Howe's Valley, Millfield and Ellalong.
Mainly due to development of the mining industry, the population grew in centres outside of Wollombi and the population of Wollombi itself decreased.
Through a series of amalgamations and changes this ultimately led to the formation of the Parish of Cessnock / Wollombi in 1966.
In 2011 the Newcastle Diocesan Council determined that a new Parish (The Parish of the Wollombi Valley) should be formed and the Parish of Cessnock/Wollombi be reduced accordingly. The Bishop of Newcastle determined that this new Parish should come into effect from the 25th September 2011.

October 20, 2011 Lovell Chronicle
4 I The Lovell Chronicle I October 20, 2011 I have no confidence in my teams...or do I? I'm not a very confident sports fan. Never have been. Partly, it comes from being a Wyo- ming Cowboys fan. With the heart- ache my beloved Pokes have given me over the years, it hard to be boastful, even confident. I'm loyal and even "fa- naticar' - but always nervous. Thus, I am no fun and not much of a sports antagonist when it comes to team vs. team matchups. I'm not much of a chest-thumper and sneering David Peck boaster. Why would I be? The Pokes may Observations advance to the occasional bowl game in football, but they've been generally mediocre on the gridiron, or worse, over the last 20 years, subject to embarrassing blowouts, and the men basketball has been abysmal, although I have hope for the squad un- der new/old coach Larry Shyatt. The Broncos have been terrible in recent years, and there is little reason to think it will change any time soon. And so as my Cardinals enter the World Series, as thrilled as I am, I am still a nervous Nellie. Maybe there a reason my favorite Winnie the Pooh character is Eeyore. "You're going to lose," a Texas Rangers fan might tell me. "You're probably right," I might reply. "Have you seen our starting pitching? You will shell us." A colleague told me, "You talk more bad about your fa- vorite team than anyone I know. I always think the Rangers are going to win, even when they suck." It true. I fret, worry and doubt. But rll watch every pitch I can, and rll leap up, shout and run around the house when Albert Pujols hits a home run. A know-it-all on Fox Sport Radio - Seth Everett - was rip- ping on Cardinals fans as I drove to Laramie Saturday, say- ing they are among the most obnoxious fans in America, right up there with Boston Red Sox fans (his words, not mine). He said it because Cardinal fans think their teams are the absolute best and can do no wrong. Well, he doesn't know me - and he clearly doesn't know Cardinal fans, who are some of the most polite and knowl- edgeable fans on the planet - but not arrogant, except when it comes to the hated, pitiful Cubs. Case in point: I have worn Cardinals gear to Coors Field and have been heckled by Colorado Rockies fans and even a Red Sox fan - at Coors Field! One Rockies fan, nearly fall- ing-down drunk, waded into the throng of Cardinals fans at a game I attended and tried to start a fight. Now that class. Conversely, when my brother wore his Cincinnati Reds gear to Busch Stadium for a Reds-Cardinals series this spring - and this is as heated a rivalry as there is in baseball - he didn't hear a peep from any Cardinal fan. No heckling, no snide comments, no derogatory comments. People think I'm a sports fan. I'm not. I'm a team fan: Wyoming Cowboys, St. Louis Cardinals, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Lakers. I watch few, if any, other games. I do not waver, I do not change teams, I do not lose interest. But I AM nervous...all the time...especially when games re- ally count - like the playoffs. What those who have to listen to my whining don't re- alize is that with it comes a tremendous power. Longtime colleague Karla Pomeroy and I have often said that we can cuss any team to victory. Many a time you'll hear me say something like, "That guy doesn't deserve the money he wants, he terrible." And then, boom! He blasts a home run. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a Steel- ers fan or a Yankees fan or an Alabama football fan - ex- pecting to win every game. Would it be as fun? The closest I've come is being a Lakers fan. The Lakers have had a lot of success over the last 30 years, and I've enjoyed their suc- cess. And nearly everybody who isn't a fan absolutely hates them, hates them with a passion. I guess what it boils down to is that success breeds con- tempt among foes and confidence, and sometimes arro- gance, among fans. Fans are, well, fans - fanatics. But I don't think I will ever be arrogant or hateful, except when it comes to the Cubs, Celtics, Raiders and the Sheep (Colorado State). Those are chief rivals of my top teams. Hopeful? Always. Confident? Rarely. And so I am hoping, praying, wishing and keeping my fingers crossed that the Cardinals won't get swept by the Texas Rangers in this year World Series, while secretly be- lieving that they just might be a team of destiny and that this year is their year. There, I've said it! Gaaa! I've just doomed them. They can never win. Really. (Wink, wink.) Letters to the editor Fuzzy math for politicians only Dear Editor, Some 70 years ago as I went through elementary school and high school -there was no middle school at that time- I learned in math class that 2+2=4. Later in high school algebra and trigonom- etry, I learned that you can have a negative result in math. Today only in politics, a neg- ative result can be claimed as a positive gain. As I did not go to college and get a degree in high- er math, I must conclude that this fuzzy math must be taught in po- litical science classes. I will try to explain my think- ing. In a recent speech the pres- ident claimed that 185,000 new jobs were added to the economy. A few days later the labor depart- ment stated that for the same pe- riod, only 117,000 new jobs were added. A few days later, the un- employment report for the same period said 400,000 jobs were lost. Now if you add the new jobs claimed of 185,000 and 117,000 you still come up with a less- er amount than the jobs lost by 98,000. Only in political fuzzy math is this negative considered a posi- tive gain. To me this type of add- ing is a stretch of the facts and an outright lie. But in politics they say, "Oh, I just misspoke." Now on the claim of jobs saved, in one month you have 400,000 jobs lost and the previous month you had 460,000 jobs lost. That is considered as 60,000 jobs saved. Again viewed in politics as a positive gain. Now on a more personal lev- el without all the huge numbers, let's say I have $20 and go into a Store to buy a shirt. Shirts are on sale and a $25 shirt is on sale for $15, saving me $10, which by po- litical fuzzy math I now have $30. The shirt was not available in my size, so I did not buy one. Political fuzzy math says the $15 I did not spend added to the $30 now gives me $45. Oh, I forgot the 5% sales tax of 75 cents I saved by not buy- ing the shirt, which now gives me $45.75. I am still looking for the store that will allow me to spend the $25.75 the government's fuzzy math now says I have. I guess I will have to go to Washington D.C., as only they seem to accept this kind of adding. Of course they will tell me to keep shopping at sales and I will eventually build that $45.75 into hundreds of dol- lars or more and if I go to sales and do not buy anything, some- day I might be a millionaire. Only until the tax man will say hand it over and I will give them all my fuzzy math savings except for my $20 I started with and probably go to jail for tax evasion. Jim Szlemko Adventures in a smart dog's life Dear Editor, Like many people around town, I've been getting} the house all ready for winter. With such beautiful fall days, I was even able to complete a few projects that were on the list for next spring. Ah yes, the list, my best friend. The list keeps me out of trouble as it reminds me of all the things I have to do each day and for those other projects. Life is good as long as it is on the list. "Yes dear, it's on the list!" Actually, my best friend has al- ways been a German shepherd. I always chose the runt of the litter as I figured they had to get smart- er faster to survive. So, as of late, I have been thinking it's time for a new puppy. My best shepherd was named Justin and what a smart dog he was. When one of my friends' wife had a baby and he told me they had named the boy Justin, I told them how honored I was that they named their son after my dog. For some reason, he didn't think that was funny. Just how smart was Justin? Justin was trained to be the nic- est dog around yet at the snap of the fingers and a word;:he would attack. One fine weekend, I had a female companion stay the night and the next morning, as I had to head to work, she exclaimed, ' �/hat about your dog? I'm afraid of dogs." I told her, "No worry." I snapped my fingers and said, "On the bed and you protect." Justin hopped on the bed and laid down. She said, "That's it?" I said, "Yep" and headed to work. When I got home that night and came walking around the house, who comes attacking me? Yep, good ol' Justin. That is, until he saw who it was. Smart dog. I asked my friend how it went and she said, "Your dog is amaz- ing!" "How so," I asked. She went on to tell me how they took a walk together and how Justin would not leave her side all day long. "Well, I told him to protect." "No, you don't understand," she said. "Even when I went to the bathroom, he opened the door and sat there!" "Oh yeah," I said, "I forgot to tell you he can open doors." No, when I went and took a shower, he opened the door and laid there and watched me and wouldn't leave." I looked at Justin and said, "lucky dog." One night, after I had let him out to do his business, I noticed he didn't come back right away. I waited and whistled and called and no Justin. It got late and so I finally left the door open and went to bed. The next morning, no Justin. I drove up and down the neighborhood but no Justin. So I had to head to work. I got home that night and there he is, lying by the back door, wagging his tail. "You're in trouble, son," I told him. "Get in the house!" Well, 8:00 rolls around and it's time for him to go out and he gives me that look and wags his tail. So I look at him and tell him, "You best be home by 10 o'clock mister." Five minutes to 10, there's a scratch at the door and he was home. What a smart dog. Yes, Justin was like a son to me. I remember how he used to make me so mad whenever he borrowed my truck. Why? Be- cause he would never put any gas in the tank, but then that's a story for another time. You know, I bet that if I was half as smart as Justin was, my parents would have been proud of me, too. At least he listened. ..... :'; '-. Gary Noth Questions about the dead horse Dear Editor, The article in the last week's Chronicle concerning the "dead horse" leaves us with two puz- zling questions. The first being why anyone who was "attached" to an animal, and responsible for its care and well-being, would not respond to information that the horse was down for a WEEK! Leaving the animal open to the elements until its body was eaten on and "mangled" is a lack of re- spect I can't relate to. The second puzzling aspect is why the first suspicion and as- sumption as to the cause of death was "wild animals." Far more like- ly is one of the many ailments that can bring a horse down, especially an animal that is not checked on often, such as lack of worming, or twisted bowel, which is an excru- ciating way to die. Also more like- ly is death by a two-legged preda- tor, which happens far more often than is reported, and I have yet to hear of any that are actually tracked down and prosecuted. Wild horses are shot for sport by drunken cowboys who consider them a nuisance, and I served on a jury here a few years ago where the case was indirectly tied to the shooting of twenty-some head of horses in a field. The killers sat on top of a hill and shot them for the heck of it. So before we assume some four-legged predator is to blame, which I realize is preferable due to the possibility of making a claim on the compensation fund, let's look at the more likely causes first and involve the authorities who are trained for such investi- gations. Sandra Scouten-Ford Thanks to the interpretive center Dear Editor, We just wanted to thank Christy Fleming and the en- tire Heart Mountain Interpre- tive Learning Center for opening their doors to us recently. The sophomore class from Lovell High School toured the center as a way of kicking off a non-fiction literature unit about World War II. Christy did a great job of pre- paring for us and making the experience interactive. The stu- dents - and teachers - learned a lot, and hopefully the students will take home the bigger mes- sage of tolerance. The center is a great as- set to our community and if you haven't been out there, it's worth the trip. Carissa Camp LHS teacher Letters to the editor The Lovell Chronicle welcomes letters from its readers and will make every effort to print them. Letters longer than 400 words may not be printed.

DJ JMP
DJ Jean-Marie Pierre, aka DJ JMP, is an up and coming DJ based in London, UK. Brought up in Mauritius, he was one of the few who listened to Underground House and UK Garage in the country.
His explosive set-lists and entertainment performances echo through the floors of the local and international clubs. JMP shared the stage with such well-known international DJs as Defected Record’s very own: Sam Divine; Ministry of Sound’s resident: Joshua Roberts, Music Producer/DJ Tommy Trash and UK Garage heroes: DJ Luck & Mc Neat, Artful Dodger and DJ Pied Piper & MC DT.
JMP’s career is reaching ever-greater heights. Shortly after winning a DJ residency at one of London’s finest club Aquum, JMP also rocked the dance floor of one of the most respected and internationally renowned nightclub, Ministry of Sound.
Deep, bouncy, and groovy sounds with lush melodies, tight beats and haunting sonic landscapes, his sound is reminiscent of artists such as Low Steppa, Sam Divine, Osunlade and Franky Rizardo.

Movement for Social Democracy
From Phantis

Provinces of Cyprus
Political parties in Cyprus:
DIKO - DISY - AKEL
Elections in Cyprus:
The Movement for Social Democracy (Greek: Κίνημα Σοσιαλδημοκρατών - "KISOS") is a social-democratic political party in Cyprus. It is led by Yiannakis Omirou.
In the 2001 general elections it won 6.5% of the votes case and 4 of the 56 seats in the House of Representatives of Cyprus. In the elections of 21 May 2006, the party won 8.9 % and 5 out of 56 seats. It is a member of the Party of European Socialists.
The party was founded by doctor Vasos Lyssaridis in 1970 with the name EDEK. Members were drawn from the committee for re-establishment of democracy in Greece, and fighters from Lyssaridis's group during the 1964 clashes between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The party supported president Makarios III and a lot of its members were part of the armed resistance to the July 15, 1974 coup against him. The leader of the youth section of the party, Doros Loizou, was shot and killed in an attempt to murder Lyssaridis himself in August 1974.
Several members of the party's youth section (EDEN) with trotskyist tendencies were expelled between 1979-1984 and formed "Aristeri Pteryga" (Left Wing).

Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu writes Donald Trump from prison
Thursday 10 November, 2016
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on Thursday, November 10, wrote an open letter to the United States of America’s President-elect Donald Trump.
In his letter sent to NAIJ.com, the IPOB leader congratulated Trump for his victory at the just concluded US election. Kanu also warned the president-elect of the responsibilities he will be facing as the 45th president of the US. He also said there is need for Trump to be firm, knowing that most African leaders pose a danger to world peace and a threat to the US.
Kanu further listed benefits the US and its leadership stands to gain with building a relationship with Biafra. Below is the Kanu’s letter to Donald Trump: Dear Mr. President-Elect It is with great joy that I Nnamdi Kanu received the news of your election victory as the 45th President of the United States of America at the just concluded US Presidential election. On behalf of the Indigenous People of Biafra, please accept my warmest congratulations on your well-deserved victory. Mr. President, the American people have given you their mandate and trust, not only to make America Great Again, but also to bring positive changes in the affairs of humanity.
Your victory has placed a historic and moral burden upon you to liberate enslaved nations in Africa, trapped in artificially created boundaries designed to reinforce colonial domination and subjugation. Self-Determination is a sacred right of all people as demonstrated by the good people of United Kingdom when they opted out of the European Union. It is imperative to draw historical parallels between your victory and that of the great Dwight Eisenhower a fellow Republican, who was instrumental in the dismantling of European colonialism in Africa.
I pray that you follow in his footsteps, by bringing to a deserved end neo-colonial enslavement, currently championed by puppet dictatorial and tyrannical regimes. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have every confidence that as the leader of the free world, you have both the capacity and the will to confront the challenges ahead and meet the expectations of the American people in particular and the oppressed people of the world in general.
” Your victory has therefore come with the responsibility to unite and heal the wounds of the past, including the re-writing of some aspects of the dark history of American foreign policy in Africa, championed by established interests, who worked through successive US administrations to actively sponsor undemocratic rogue regimes, corrupt dictatorships and more recently unrepentant arch genocidists. Such rulers, especially in Africa, remain a direct danger to world peace and security but more importantly a potent and subsisting threat to United States interests in Africa.
A Trump administration should resist every temptation, be it financial inducement to US politicians, political blackmail or otherwise, to partner with these tyrannical regimes in black Africa that specialize in ‘crushing’ the inalienable rights of its citizens, while using this as a cover to loot the treasury dry. Tyranny is bad for mankind because history have always taught us that all great wars were started by tyrants.
It is your responsibility Sir, as the leader of the free world, to hastily undo the mess that US Africa foreign policy has become under the Barack Obama administration. The rights of distinct ethnic nationalities to seek self determination should be upheld. A free Biafra would be an ally of the United States of America on many fronts, as both nations share the same Judeo-Christian Greco-Roman value system with jealous disposition to safeguarding the rights of the individual. May the Almighty God give you wisdom and protect you as you embark upon this historic service to humanity.

Takeaways from the Canadiens’ Train-Wreck 2017-2018 Season
By Tom Donovan – March 30, 2018
On a scale of disaster, it would be hard, you’d think, to top the Montreal Canadiens’ final season under GM Pierre Gauthier. Yet here we are, six years on, well short of that dubious low-water mark with just a handful of games to play. Of all the losing campaigns in the Habs long and storied history, in other words, this one may take the cake!
But despair not, Habs fans, because Marc Bergevin, lo and behold, has a plan. One that’s still short on details and apparently doesn’t include blowing up the roster or conceding that the team’s core – Max Pacioretty, Carey Price et al – won’t be breaking the Stanley Cup drought that stretches well into its third decade anytime soon. But a plan it is, though it’s safe to say no one’s doing cartwheels down Saint Catherine Street and lighting cars ablaze in anticipation of a parade.
Geoff Molson, to our collective bewilderment, declared that he stands firmly behind his beleaguered GM. Marc Bergevin, said Mr. Molson, remains one of the league’s premier evaluators of talent—a rose-coloured assessment that flies in the face of all that we’ve witnessed on the ice this season at top speed. The Karl Alzner, Ales Hemsky and Mark Streit signings, the David Schlemko acquisition, the failure to re-sign Alexander Radulov and Andrei Markov with no backup plan, the magical thinking behind the expectation that Jonathan Drouin could draw on his deep well of talent to seamlessly morph into a number-one centreman, the P.K. Subban trade (still), and the list goes on.
These are not the decisions of a GM with a sharp eye for talent.
The lack of accountability on Bergevin’s part has been mirrored in the team’s performance. Barring a few exceptions – your next captain, Brendan Gallagher, and Paul Byron, with props to Jeff Petry – the players counted on to deliver the mail (Pacioretty, Price, and to a lesser extent, Drouin) have given us prolonged stretches of uninspired play, with Price, in particular, looking completely out-of-sync on his way to putting up AHL-worthy numbers.
The team-record 12 shutouts against (and counting), more than attest to an anemic offence, reflects a reluctance to “arrive at the net with the puck and in ill humour,” to quote legendary Flyers’ coach Fred Shero. On too many nights, the sheer will, tenacity and self-sacrifice needed to win in today’s NHL were almost nowhere to be seen—which is perfectly understandable if you believe hockey players take their cue from their captain.
The Montreal fans I know all say they haven’t watched a full game for weeks if not months. At the Bell Centre box office and in sports bars, pubs and restaurants across the province, people are feeling the pinch of a season lost with 40 games to play. And chances are the worst is yet to come. Forget about John Tavares (he wants to win now!) and retooling via trades and free agency: the Canadiens are more than a player or two away from playoff contention. Besides, Montreal is the Siberia of free agent destinations: Everyone loves to play here, as long as they’re suiting up for the visiting team.
There have been some bright spots in this otherwise woeful season: Gallagher’s return to form after two injury-plagued seasons, Charles Hudon’s solid rookie campaign, Nicolas Deslauriers’s take-no-prisoners approach to every shift, and the continued development of Nikita Scherbak. Artturi Lehkonen is a well-rounded young forward who plays a 200-foot game, and he’ll rebound from this year’s sophomore slump. Alex Galchenyuk’s improved second-half play bodes well for next season, providing the Canadiens don’t make the mistake of bailing on him. None of the above plays centre, of course, unless you include Galchenyuk, and who wants to reignite that debate?
But let’s not kid ourselves: there will be no quick fixes for your Montreal Canadiens. Not this year or next. Tanking is the clearest path to renewed respectability (unless you’re the Edmonton Oilers), together with a front office shakeup early in the offseason to give the new brass, ideally led by GM Julien Brisebois, time to prepare for the upcoming draft and finally begin the process of rebuilding this once-proud franchise.
Not gonna happen, of course. At least not for now, if you believe Geoff Molson. But that reckoning will come, perhaps as early as next season. Because the time for half-measures is past. Montreal fans deserve more.
To quote the late great Fred Shero once again: “Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion, you must first set yourself on fire.”

The King of Fighters XI - Arcade, PlayStation 2 (2005)
This entry is part 12 of 17 in the series King of Fighters

After messing around with the Atomiswave for NeoWave, SNK finally got back on track with The King of Fighters XI, which drops the yearly subtitle in favor of a roman numeral. The tag system from 2003 has returned, with some minor changes to the tagging attack and Super Cancel system. Now there is a separate “Skill” stock for these maneuvers, so some of them no longer consume the regular power stocks. You can also immediately switch a character out of the match by using both Skill stocks, which is useful if they’re being pummeled by a powerful combo.
The high-res 2D backgrounds are pretty decent, and the fancy artwork by Hiroaki shows off some of the best character portraits of the series. All of the music was composed by SHA-V, who is known for guitar-heavy songs like “Goodbye Esaka”. The soundtrack is a mixture of that same rocking attitude, mixed with the hard electronica of KoF 2003. Also, there’s now a gauge beneath the timer that determines who is “winning” the match, based on performance – if the timer runs out, this gauge will decide the winner, as opposed to basing it on remaining health. Also new are Dream Cancels, which is like a regular Super Cancel, except for Leader Desperation Moves.
The new combatants this time are little girl dancer Momoko, card-wielding badass Oswald, and the classy dominatrix-style Elisabeth, along with Duck King from the Fatal Fury series, and B. Jenet from Mark of the Wolves. The new sub-boss is Shion, an androgynous spear-wielding fighter, and the final boss is Magaki, who’s pretty close to Onslaught from the Marvel vs Capcom series. Needless to say, he’s remarkably cheesy. There are also several hidden subbosses from other SNK titles – Gai Tendo and Silber from Buriki One (a Hyper Neo Geo 64 game) shows up, as well as Hayate and Jazu from Kizuna Encounter. Some of them seem a bit out of place (especially Jazu), but it’s cool to see SNK grabbing from their lesser known series. The problem is, a lot of old favorites have been removed from the roster – Andy is still missing, and Joe, Leona, and Mai are gone as well, at least in the arcade version.
Thankfully, the PlayStation 2 port adds a bunch of exclusive characters: Mai, Robert Garcia, Geese Howard, Mr. Big, Hotaru Futaba, and Tung Fu Rue. They are the same versions as found in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. All of them are unlocked through the Mission Mode, which offers over forty challenges, most of which are pretty difficult. There are plenty of additional endings, several new 3D backgrounds, and a few remixed character-specific songs (“Diet” from Art of Fighting 2 for Yuri, “Big Shot” from Fatal Fury 3 for Terry, “Bad Girl” from Mark of the Wolves for B. Jenet and “Still Green” from KoF 97 for Shingo.) Surprisingly, the load times are even shorter than in the arcade version. It also features the original “Arcade” as well as an “Arrange” mode, which changes some of the character balancing.
KoF XI is undoubtedly one of the best, most refined entries of the series, both in gameplay and presentation, and shows that SNK Playmore still knows what they’re doing after all these years. The PAL release, however, contains a number of glitches. The North American version published later fixes all of them, but neither version has the progressive scan option that’s available to Japanese players.

Yankees' Eovaldi to Undergo Two Surgeries
The New York Yankees are expected to be without starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi until at least 2018. The team announced on Tuesday that the hurler will undergo two surgeries, including Tommy John surgery, which will keep him out all of next season. The recovery time has been listed at 14-18 months, and with the pitcher being a free agent in 2018, he may never wear the pinstripes again.
Eovaldi will undergo procedures to repair a torn flexor tendon and a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. This will be the second time the right-hander will go through Tommy John surgery in his life. He also had to go through it as a 17-year-old during his high school playing days.
He was placed on the disabled list after leaving Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox following one inning. At the time, the team called the issue "elbow discomfort." Eovaldi went for an MRI, and would then go on to seek a second opinion. That second opinion came Tuesday, and the results mean that the 26-year-old's career may be over.
The former Marlin said he started to feel discomfort days after an August 4th start against the New York Mets. He claims there was very little pain, just a "little pinch", so he did not inform anyone of the issue, which is much more serious than first suspected.

Press Reviews for HOLY WARRIORS
Russian Filmmaker Edits War Stories in Banff
By Quintin Winks
Banff Crag & Canyon
The peaceful Bow Valley is an unlikely venue for the debut screening of a film gets into the minds of professional killers, ex-soldiers and war orphans. But the local expertise and facilities at The Banff Centre were exactly what Marianna Yarovskya needed to complete her film HOLY WARRIORS, which also chronicles the spiritual upheaval brought about by war on those involved.
Yarovskya spent two months filming five characters and gathering footage for HOLY WARRIORS, a journey that took her from Russia to war-torn Afghanistan and the former Soviet republic of Chechnya. In the end, a lack of expertise and a full-time job needed to pay the bills shelved her project for two years until she came to Banff.
"In order to put something like this together you have to have complete focus and concentration and I had full time work and I just could not complete it in my spare time," said Yarovskya, a Muscovite in her early 30s. "I had people who could offer me expert advice, but nobody who could sit down and do it with me and that's what happened in Banff."
The frequently grim stories of its five characters unfolded at The Banff Centre's Apr. 7 debut. At times, Yarovskya admits, she was scared interviewing men and women who killed for a living, among them a sniper called Muslim.
"I think the Muslim character who fought on the front zone as a sniper, he insisted he was not a mercenary, he insisted he didn't do it for money, he says his nature is just like this," says Yarovskya. "He's a beast, he likes it, he's a killer."
Perhaps somewhat secretive because of his life's calling, Muslim insisted that neither the interview nor his face be advertised in Russia, despite assertions from Yarovskya's film crew that the documentary would be aimed at global audiences.
"Because he fought so recently, from 1997-2000, he definitely didn't want this to be advertised anywhere in Russia," said Yarovskya. "At some point he just sat back and said 'make sure it's not, because if it is I'll find you.'"
The goal of Yarovskya's documentary is to give her audiences a glimpse into the minds of three professional soldiers, while chronicling their spiritual upheaval.
That upheaval is perhaps most apparent in a veteran of four wars-Afghanistan, Chechnya and two smaller regional wars-who chose to become a Russian Orthodox priest after returning to civilian life.
"He's very conflicted, I would say," said Yarovskya. "He says things that to me are fascinating and mostly provide questions rather than answers. I would ask him how, with though 'shalt not kill,' he finds peace after having killed so many people and now being a priest. He said, 'well, though shalt not kill only applies to my neighbors, the close ones. But we're talking about an aggressor who's threatening the lives of others, that person deserves death.'
"He found this harmony that to me is conflict. He also says about post-traumatic stress that he doesn't believe in it," continued Yarovskya. "He says that people who experience it are healed by wars because that is an environment where everything is clear cut- yes is yes and no is no and everything in between is betrayal, whereas in a peaceful life there are a lot of shades of grey."
None of the characters in the film have a better grasp of the term betrayal than the war orphans. One girl, half Chechnyan, half Russian, tells how she was sitting at home when the door burst open to soldiers who shot all her family. She has no recollection if they were Russian or Chechnyan soldiers, said Yarovskya. One orphan lost his mother in the first Chechnyan war and his father in the second.
"When there's a question asked 'do you think Russian soldiers are at fault for killing?' he says the mercenary soldiers are the evil ones and the simple soldiers are just sent there," said Yarovskya. "'But do you think they are at fault?' and he says 'the one who killed my father is at fault.'"
Yarovskya's other interviews include a woman who served as a spy in Afghanistan for 14 consecutive years and a "charming" man who served as a major in the Russian commandos. This third character was a shaman, said Yarovskya, and was the person she felt the greatest affinity with because his age was closest to hers. "He was the commander of a platoon and because of the shamanism, because of his spirits, he says no one in his platoon died," said Yarovskya. "He says, 'I don't think it was because of my skill. I think it was because of the amulets that I had. Nobody died who had amulets.'"
Though on a personal level Yarovskya liked the shaman character most, she had to draw the line when he asked to come with the film crew to take footage of the orphans at a children's festival. The request left the crew in a moral dilemma.
"At some point for the sanity of the film we decided to stop it because how are we to interview these Chechnyan orphans with somebody whose nickname was the shaman while in the army?" she Yarovskya asked. "Basically there was also a book that came out about him, based on him, about special troops who would dress up in feathers and tambourines as Indians with war makeup. I mean kill military. He says he wouldn't kill civilians."
The result of all her documentary and insight into the human spirit during trying times has done little to change Yarovskya's pacifist outlook on war. But she said she learned a lot about people and the effects of war. One observation was that people who voluntarily go off to war without giving it much thought undergo enormous transformations. It's difficult to find good or evil in that, she said, adding that the greatest wrong is conscripting soldiers and sending them to war when they don't want to go.
"It's a big question mark whether the Russians should have gone in there (Chechnya) in the first place," said Yarovskya. "My characters were very clear on the point that if you need to deal with a conflict, you don't bring a non-professional army there and that's what they did. It was a disaster. They would tell stories that people on the Chechnyan side would start reciting Pushkin, Russian poetry, hoping that a 19-year-old boy fresh out of school would not be able to shoot. But if you hesitate, you get killed."
Kurilovo Journal: From Village Boy to Soldier, Martyr and, Many Say, Saint
By Seth Mydans
Copyright© 2003 The New York Times Company
KURILOVO, Russia
Shoulders back, chest out, the young soldier stands as if on parade in his camouflage fatigues – his boots polished, his rifle at his shoulder, a halo around his head.
His face is the blank mask of a man for whom duty is life. It is not easy being a soldier, or a saint.
Portraits of this young man, Yevgeny Rodionov, are spreading around Russia – sometimes in uniform, sometimes in a robe, sometimes armed, sometimes holding a cross, but always with his halo.
He is Russia's new unofficial saint, a casualty of the war in Chechnya who has been canonized not by the Russian Orthodox Church but by a groundswell of popular adoration.
The portraits are religious icons, venerated in homes and churches where Private Rodionov has become the focus of a minor cult that seems to fill a nationalist hunger for popular heroes.
In one icon he is painted to look like a medieval Russian knight. In another he is included, in full uniform, in a group portrait of the last czar and his family, under the gaze of Jesus.
Church officials say all of this breaks religious law. Sainthood is not a popularity contest, and icons are not campaign posters. The process of canonization, the officials say, is long and arduous and can only be carried out by the church.
But it does happen from time to time that a symbolic figure emerges to capture the passions of a moment and becomes a sort of folk saint -- sometimes the first step toward official sainthood.
In pamphlets, songs and poems, in sermons and on Web sites, Private Rodionov's story has become a parable of religious devotion and Russian nationalism. The young soldier, it is said, was killed by Muslim rebels seven years ago because he refused to renounce his religion or remove the small silver cross he kept around his neck.
It is the story his mother says she was told by the rebels who killed him and who later led her, for a ransom of $4,000, to the place they had buried him. When she exhumed his body late one night, she said, the cross was there among his bones, glinting in the light of flashlights, stained with small drops of blood.
"Nineteen-year-old Yevgeny Rodionov went through unthinkable suffering," reads an encomium on one nationalist Web site, "but he did not renounce the Orthodox faith but confirmed it with his martyr's death.
"He proved that now, after so many decades of raging atheism, after so many years of unrestrained nihilism, Russia is capable, as in earlier times, of giving birth to a martyr for Christ, which means it is unconquerable."
As his story has spread, pilgrims have begun appearing in this small village just west of Moscow, where his mother, Lyubov, 51, tends his grave on an icy hillside beside an old whitewashed church.
Some military veterans have laid their medals by his graveside in a gesture of homage. People in distress have left handwritten notes asking for his intercession.
In a church near St. Petersburg, his full-length image stands at the altar beside icons of the Virgin Mary, the Archangel Michael, Jesus and Nicholas II, the last of the czars, who was canonized three years ago.
Aleksandr Makeyev, a paratroop officer who heads a foundation to assist soldiers, said he had seen soldiers kneeling in prayer before an image of Private Rodionov. "The kids in Chechnya, they feel they've been abandoned by the state and abandoned by their commanders," he told the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets.
"They don't know who to appeal to for help, but they understand that Zhenya is one of them," he said, using Private Rodionov's nickname. "You can say he is the first soldier-saint."
Among the photographs of her son that Mrs. Rodionov spreads on her kitchen table are laminated cards that she says some soldiers carry with them for luck. They bear his image along with a prayer:
"Thy martyr, Yevgeny, O Lord, in his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from thee, our God, for having thy strength he has brought down his torturers, has defeated the powerless insolence of demons. Through his prayers save our souls."
Although he has not been formally canonized, Private Rodionov's mother and other believers say his icons sometimes emit rivulets of holy perfume, as some extremely sacred Orthodox icons are said to do.
Indeed, Mrs. Rodionov said, her own icon of her son drips perfume. "When that happens and I am planning a trip, I postpone it," she said. "The icon gives me signs."
Mrs. Rodionov said she was able to find her son's body and learn how he died during a lull in the war when rebel soldiers were demanding huge sums of money to return live prisoners or the bodies of men they had killed.
According to the accounts of his captors, she said, he and three other soldiers were seized in 1996 while manning a checkpoint and were held in a cellar for 100 days before they were executed.
Private Rodionov was killed, she said, when he refused the rebels' demand that he remove his cross and forswear his religion.
A poem called "The Cross," composed in his honor, paints a scene of laughing heathens who beheaded the young soldier when he defied them.
"Pure mountains in the distance, slopes covered in blooms of blue," the poem reads. "Refusing to renounce Christ, the soldier of Russia fell. And his head rolled, blood flowed from the saber, and the red grass whispered a quiet prayer in its wake."
Private Rodionov was proud to wear his military uniform and to do his duty for his country, his mother said. But as a boy in this small village, all he really wanted was to be a cook.
HUMAN RIGHTS IN FILM FESTIVAL
35’ Rosja/Russia 2005
reż./dir. Marianna Jarovskaya
Filmed between 2001 and 2005, the latest documentary by Marianna Jarowska (we screened her Undesirables in 2003) reaches far beyond the stereotypical portrait of war veterans. Jarowska’s subtle and revealing manner speaks of the social consequences of Russian wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya. Her characters do not suffer from Vietnam syndrome – they seem to be psychologically integrated and in peace with society. Jarowska’s film depicts society through a gamut of unusual human beings – an Orthodox priest soldier, a shaman soldier, a female spy. The army, war and enemy are shown to be almost natural, constant elements of our world. Superior and dynamic editing, the use of interesting archive footage, a fresh approach to the topic – all culminate in a tour de force in this unsettling documentary.
Some of the films are also screened accompanied by meetings with festival’s guests. Look at meetings.

Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome Co-Hosts Workshop on Cognition in Down Syndrome in Washington, D.C., on April 13-15
Workshop will bring top scientists together to share discoveries, explore collaborations
from the Herald Online:
The Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome will co-host the “Workshop on Cognition in Down Syndrome – Molecular, Cellular and Behavioral Features and the Promise of Pharmacotherapies” April 13-15 in Washington, D.C. The workshop will bring top scientists together to share discoveries and explore collaborations with the aim to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome.
Katheleen Gardiner, Ph.D., a professor at the Crnic Institute and the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics, is the workshop’s organizer. This is the third international workshop she has organized on Down syndrome and the biology of chromosome 21.
Gardiner received a grant from the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation to organize the workshop and the past two workshops she organized in 2004 and 2007. More than 130 experts from a variety of scientific disciplines are expected to attend the workshop.
“Our invited speakers are not Down syndrome researchers but may be interested in a specific gene on chromosome 21 or in some other type or specific feature of intellectual disability,” Gardiner said. “They may be persuaded to think about doing Down syndrome research and/or provide new ideas, research tools or perspectives to current Down syndrome researchers.”
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder whereby a person has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. It is the most frequently occurring chromosomal disorder and the leading cause of intellectual disability and developmental delay in the U.S. and in the world.
The workshop, which will be at the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner, 8661 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA 22182, is being sponsored by the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation, F. Hoffmann-LaRoche Ltd., the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation, Research Down Syndrome, Association Française pour la Recherche sur la Trisomie 21 and Fresh Eyes Editing.
Co-organizers of the workshop with Gardiner include Jorge Busciglio, Ph.D., of the University of California, Irvine; John O'Bryan, Ph.D., of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago; and Dr. George Capone of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore. In addition, Roger Reeves, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins, Jean Delabar of Paris and Mara Dierssen of Spain assisted by suggesting and vetting speakers and topics, and reviewed all the investigator-initiated abstracts for choosing additional speakers for the final program.
Discussion topics at the workshop include “The Genes of Human Chromosome 21, Pathways and Processes They Influence,” “Lessons from Other Causes of Intellectual Disability,” “Mechanisms of Intellectual Disability in Down Syndrome,” “Pharmacology in Model Systems,” “The Down Syndrome Cognitive and Neurological Phenotype,” “Clinical Trials for Cognition in Down Syndrome,” and “Re-aligning the Targets for Clinical Trials.”
More information about the speakers and the workshop can be found at www.globaldownsyndrome.org.

STATE HOUSE — The General Assembly today approved legislation introduced by Majority Floor Manager John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Tiverton, Portsmouth) and Sen. Melissa A. Murray (D-Dist. 24, Woonsocket, North Smithfield) that would make single-user restrooms in public places non-gender specific.
The bill (2021-H 5741, 2021-S 0755) would amend the state building code to require that any single-user toilet facility in a public building or place of public accommodation be available for use by persons of any gender by Jan. 1, 2022.
“Gender-specific restrooms can cause a great deal of anxiety for members of the transgender community,” said Representative Edwards. “The reason for that anxiety is the verbal — and sometimes physical — harassment that many of them have experienced. This bill would simply strip single-user bathrooms of any gender designation, which will go a long way toward improving the mental health of members of the transgender and non-binary community. This is an important step for the state to take in providing for the inclusion of all its residents.”
This act would also require that all new construction of state and municipal buildings opened to the public after July 1, 2021, would provide for a single-user toilet facility for use by persons of any gender.
“This bill ensures safe and inclusive access to restroom facilities in public places for all people,” said Senator Murray. “It’s not just beneficial for the safety of transgender and non-binary people, it also helps people with a variety of medical conditions. This is a very simple effort that will make things fair and equitable for all people.”
The measure now moves to the governor’s office.
