Bologna book trade between '500 and '600: the Ulisse Aldrovandi's booksellers
Bologna is an expanding market for the book trade in the second half of the XVI century. The library of the naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) is one of the most important in the city, both the numberof volumes and variety of interests. Relations between Aldrovandi and some leading figures of the Bologna book trade are witnessed by the scientist's handwritten notes, which are kept at the University Library of Bologna. Three large commercial types were identified within which to place the activities of some of these figures. They were examined specific cases: Giovanni Alessi and Jerome Tamburini, as representatives of Bolognese branch of Venetian companies; families Sopranini, Mascheroni, Bernia, example of a well-entrenched dynasties booksellers publishers in the real city; Gaspare Bindoni and Simone Parlasca, not of Bologna, characterized by ambitions and activities, both commercial and editorial. The archive documentation allows the reconstruction of family and professional life of the examined figures, highlighting plots and bonds of a highly endogamous environment. In the text are inserted some family trees, a comparative table with the estimate of capital of books in different Bologna workshops, between 1543 and 1620, and a plant that shows the concentration of booksellers and printers in a particular area of the city, around the monastery St. Prokulus.

Have you ever found yourself discouraged by countless rejections from jobs, schools, the opposite sex or other opportunities? This can be tough! Especially if you are receiving one or two per week. This compilation of rejection letters put together by MentalFloss are notes sent to famous people telling them that they really just aren't good enough.
The one sent to Andy Warhol from the MOMA made me feel better about my art career and the one sent to Tim Burton, a high school student at the time, from Walt Disney Productions was more considered and polite than most, but still a rejection. In the end, these letters make me feel better knowing that modern-day cultural icons received the same letters that I do. Bring em on!

These cool flower vases are a highly decorative range of short flower vases that look just as good unfilled as they do filled. We think they look a bit like a prickly pear but actually Gourd works better. The tiny hole in the top makes them perfect for displaying a lonesome single stem with absolutely any (smallish) flower you like. They are so original in their design that people just can't get enough of them, everyone likes their home to stand out after all.
Although two of the finishes, dark chrome and silver are shiny their textured finishes add an organic element to any décor. The gunmetal design, however, is in a world of it's own. Dark and mysterious, it really stands out in colorful setting and adds a sort of film noir style to your home. Cool flower vases we hear you say. That's right, you've come to the right place, cool and short flower vases completely at your disposal.
Gourds are 3.25" in diameter.
Flowers We Love in this Vase: Holly Berry, Bouvardia, Spider Mum, Gerbers, Freesia

Forex Trading Tips: Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee
Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee
A book that I am currently reading (The Quants, by Scott Patterson) follows the classic path of a Greek tragedy. Man full of hubris (in this case due to his intellectual prowess) believes he has discovered the Truth. Drunk with arrogance from his ability to extract billions upon billions of profits from the financial markets he ignores the danger signs of the greatest credit bubble in the history of mankind and winds up nearly destroying the global financial system with his greed and megalomania.
It's difficult to fathom that some of the smartest mathematical minds in the world could become subject to the basest human emotions of a degenerate gambler, but the protagonists of this book do indeed begin to behave exactly like roulette junkies doubling down continuously until their bankroll is nearly exhausted.
One of the key takeaways from the Quants is that despite the multi-regression factor analysis, despite cupola functions and Gaussian curves, despite elegant algorithms that constantly play mean reversion between momentum and value – financial markets are at their core not logical at all, but rather psychological. In times of fear human beings will be afraid to bid a penny for a multibillion dollar company and in times of greed they will part with their last dollar on a stock that has negative net worth.

What Happened to $2,000 Gold?
Yet the true lesson that I learned from the book is that size and leverage kill. The real reason most of these quant hedge funds got into so much trouble is that the massive scale of their positions along with the very high lever factor of up to 30:1 set them up for a colossal failure. Like dinosaurs that ruled the earth they were nearly wiped out from one cataclysmic event – the collapse of the US housing market.
In many ways their predicament made me appreciate my position as a retail trader. My exist strategy is not dependent on liquidation of thousands of securities. One click of a button and I can be in cash within seconds. This is a much underappreciated benefit that many of us take for granted. Unless we are trading more than 50M notional of currency, our size will not impact the market allowing us unimpeded entry and exit from our trade. Of course, platforms will go down, quotes will freeze and brokers will be unable to execute our orders – but those are permanent risks of trading FX and a big reason for why you should have several accounts. In the grander scheme of things however our ability to "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" is a huge asset. In trading being small and swift is a plus.
The other lesson from the Quants is the double edged danger of leverage. Basically anything above 10:1 is ultimately financial suicide. Leverage is a wonderful drug when the trade moves in your direction but it is pure poison when the market is aligned against you. The Achilles heel of all of the quants profiled in the book wasn't their finely tuned analytics. It was their massive leverage that forced them to cough up their positions at the worst possible time. When Bob Pisani walks the floor of the NYSE screaming that there is non-fundamental seller in a stock – he is referring to margin liquidation – a time when your ability to choose is taken away from you. The quants were the victims of that very dynamic and not even the most sophisticated algos in the world could help them then.Boris Schlossberg Uncategorized

Perhaps the most individual of a list of Wyoming's fundamental
values I struggled to put together a few years ago was the idea that you just
cannot drive by a stranded person, especially in winter.
Because our beautiful
weather can turn very cruel and because our distances are so vast and, finally,
because of our low population, this all adds up to the simple fact that we
must help if we can.
Now the sentences above
are pretty long but they sum up to me a fundamental value of living here.
One of the best
travel books I have ever read is called Oregon
Trail Revisited by Rinker Buck, which includes a lot of history of the
Oregon, California and Mormon Trails.
In Buck's book, he
stated repeatedly how you just have to help out when you are on the frontier. You have no choice. And now, here we are in that same place 165
years later, and the same rules apply.
Another outstanding
book is called Tribe by Sebastian
Junger. It describes a situation that happened to him in Gillette. Junger is
the best-selling author of some classic books including The Perfect Storm and War.
His first trip out
west at the age of 17 was when he attended a National Outdoor Leadership School
course in Lander.
Junger in his
latest book describes a situation much like the reason you try to help stranded
people in our frontier state. I thought
it worth reprinting. It makes me proud of the people here:
"In the fall of 1986, just out of college, I set out to
hitchhike across the United States. I'd grown up in a Boston suburb where
people's homes were set behind deep hedges or protected by huge yards and
neighbors hardly knew each other.
"The sheer predictability of life in an American suburb left me
hoping—somewhat irresponsibly —for a hurricane or a tornado or something that
would require us to all band together to survive.
"Those kinds of tests clearly weren't going to happen, but
putting myself in a situation where I had very little control—like hitchhiking
across the country—seemed like a decent substitute. That's how I wound up
outside Gillette, Wyoming, one morning in late October 1986, with my pack
leaned against the guardrail and an interstate map in my back pocket. Semis
rattled over the bridge spacers and hurtled on toward the Rockies. Pickup
trucks passed with men in them who turned to stare.
"A tent and sleeping bag,
a set of cook pots, and a week's worth of food was all I had that morning, when
I saw a man walking toward me up the on‑ramp.
"I could see he wore a quilted old canvas union suit and carried
a black lunch box. He walked up and stood there studying me. His hair was wild
and matted and his union suit was shiny with filth and grease at the thighs. He
didn't look unkindly but I was young and alone and I watched him like a hawk.
He asked me where I was headed?
"California," I said. He nodded. "How much food do you got?" he
"I thought about this. I had plenty of food—along with all the
rest of my gear—and he obviously didn't have much. I'd give food to anyone who
said he was hungry, but I didn't want to get robbed, and that's what seemed was
about to happen.
"Oh, I just got a little cheese," I lied. I stood there, ready,
but he just shook his head.
"You can't get to California on just a little cheese," he said.
"You need more than that."
"The man said that he lived in a broken-down car and that every
morning he walked three miles to a coal mine outside of town to see if they
needed fill‑in work. Some days they did, some days they didn't, and this was
one of the days that they didn't. "So I won't be needing this," he said,
opening his black lunch box. "I saw you from town and just wanted to make sure
you were okay."
"The lunch box contained a bologna sandwich, an apple, and a bag
of potato chips. I thanked him and put the food in my pack. Then he turned and
made his way back down the on‑ramp toward Gillette.
"I thought about that man for the rest of my trip. I thought
about him for the rest of my life."

What Is the Average Cost of Fool's Gold? Average Fool'S Gold Price
The mineral pyrite has earned the nickname `fool's gold' due to similarity in resemblance to real gold. The average cost of pyrite is $1 per pound. The color has also led to nicknames such as brass and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds, and as a replacement mineral in fossils. Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold and arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. Pyrite remains in commercial use for the production of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid.

Democratic Attorney General Jan Graham, GOP Gov. Mike Leavitt and Republican lawmakers appear to have worked out a compromise on a controversial new law that strips Graham's office of civil authority.
Wednesday morning House and Senate GOP leaders and Leavitt said monthlong talks appear to be fruitful and a lawsuit can be avoided.Details of the plan haven't been released.
But Senate President Lane Beattie, R-West Bountiful, said in the "rare" instances where Leavitt and Graham disagree over a civil litigation approach, both sides will be able to be heard in court and express their opinions in public.
"It's a statesman-like compromise," he said.
Graham, too, is optimistic.
"We're very comfortable with the current draft and very hopeful we can come together on this today," she said early Wednesday. "The major issues have been resolved, and we're talking about details."
As reported previously, Graham sought out Leavitt, House Speaker Marty Stephens and Beattie last month asking for one last attempt at reaching a compromise before she filed a much-anticipated lawsuit on the matter. Attorneys for the three parties have been meeting since.
The topic, along with the gun debate, dominated morning discussions on Utah's Capitol Hill Wednesday as lawmakers met for a monthly interim meeting of the Legislature.
House Majority Leader Kevin Garn, R-Layton, said as language over changes in the new law is passed back and forth no final agreement has been reached. "But I think we'll get there."
Vicki Varela, Leavitt's deputy chief of staff, said the governor's office is also optimistic about chances of a compromise.
Both House and Senate GOP caucuses were to be briefed on the negotiations at noon.
"The problem we have (in the House) is that we passed what we believed, still believe, is a good law" in the 1999 session, Garn said. "Now to go back and change it, what does that say" about the original bill?
Republicans took a pretty good licking over HB139. Graham and Democrats lambasted them for pursuing the only statewide elected Democrat.
And various public opinion polls basically showed that citizens didn't like the law and believed Republicans were ganging up on Graham.
But Beattie said "fine-tuning" the new law just makes it better.
"In the end, it will be very clear who the client is (the governor) and who the attorney is (the attorney general) in the relationship in state government," he said. "I think we can be pleased with it. I think Jan can be pleased with it."
After Republicans in the 1999 Legislature passed HB139, Graham first said she'd file in suit in May, then June, then on July 4. Every deadline passed without the suit being filed as Graham said she was working with GOP leaders.
Graham told the Deseret News last month she wants HB139 repealed, but GOP leaders have said that won't happen.
However, changes could be made to the law in the 2000 session that could satisfy all sides, they said.
All along leaders said they had strong legal and constitutional grounds for their actions in HB139, which also requires that the 29 elected county attorneys follow the commands of their county commissions or councils on civil legal matters.
Graham's job is outlined in the Utah Constitution whereas the county attorneys' jobs are set by statute controlled by lawmakers. The constitution says the attorney general shall by the "legal adviser" to state agencies and perform other duties as defined by law.
Republican lawmakers and Leavitt say that means the attorney general doesn't make civil decisions, the executive does, and that her duties can be redefined by the Legislature.
Graham has had several scrapes with Republican leaders over the last seven years in how Utah handles itself in civil matters. Graham and Democrats cried foul over HB139, claiming it was a clear attempt to get her politically and harm the traditional independence of her office.
Graham, enlisting the aid of the national attorneys general association and others, said HB139 was clearly unconstitutional according to Utah's highest law. The attorney general may well claim any compromise as a victory, one Republican lawmaker said Tuesday. But after the public and media read the "compromise" they'll see for themselves that the governor will still have the power to decide civil matters for the state, and that's the crux of HB139.
Graham at various times contemplated running for re-election in 2000 to see the matter through and considered running against Leavitt for governor next year because of the flap.
Now she says she'll likely not seek office in 2000.

Good Morning Coachella – Day 2 Begins!
April 20 – After an amazing night I finally have some time to replay yesterday's events in a little more detail. With darkness descending, so to did the crowd as it more than doubled in the evening from what I thought was already capacity. It's hard to get a good number but by best estimates I would say more than 80,000.
Getting around was difficult as the throngs from each stage bled out into the main arterials making navigation between stages a chore. Furthermore, losing any one of your friends was a permanent loss for the night as too many people on mobile phones rendered cellular communication useless.
For myself, I bounced between the main stage, outdoor stage, and the brand new air conditioned Yuma tent. It is a spectacular space in the desert. It is a full on nightclub focusing on a more underground electronic sound. Some of the greats will be playing here this weekend including Maya Jane Coles and my personal favourite – Richie Hawtin.
I had the opportunity to catch Pete Tong and he didn't disappoint. It has been over seven years since I last had the opportunity to see him in Taipei. He rocked it and the tent was at capacity with many people left in the queue trying to get in.
After that I made my to see Modest Mouse. That set was good but did not blow me away. The night truly belonged to Blur. They played all their classics and really capped off the evening with their biggest hit — Song 2 (Woo Hoo) — the crowd was left begging for more.
I'm off for the afternoon. Hot Chip and Richie Hawtin are the must sees for me today.

LEMONY SNICKET is going to be signing books tomorrow. I am going to totally geek out all over him! He is one of my most favorite-ist authors, and I cant wait to meet him, and get his book signed, and get a picture with him, and touch him (ok maybe that is a little too far. LOL)

I'm a newbie to the self-publishing scene, and so only heard of this event for the first time a few days ago, but the ICA will be holding a comic market next Sunday called Comica Comkiet. The ICA is near Charing Cross station in London, and the doors for the event will be open 1-6p.m. on Sunday 8th November. Only just applied for a spot there at the last minute - but should be good to be there will all my comics amongst a mixture of comickers of varying styles. Should be fun!

I took this Freesound
and made a Rex loop of it which was then played back at a slow 40bpm. It has CV controlling filters etc and lots of TSAR reverb and echo to give a dark mysterious whispering.
e bello
Nice work!

I don't know about that last sentence.. I am not familiar enough with PCI/DSS to say it protects data or protects from lawsuits. Everything else I can agree with 100%. Linux/Mac/Solaris etc are all good vectors for serving malware because they are not routinely looked at for malware (because most Unix admins think it is something that affects them.) Most malware authors learned that while they may not be able to get 'root' all they really need is normal permissions for most things because they can still open up high ports to send/recieve spam or that most systems have data at o+rw for ease of use. Does this mean that every Linux machine should have a malware detector on it that runs and scans every file? No its a matter of risk management. If you are in a high risk environment, you should know why or why not it is not in place (having other strong security measures in place with constant vigilance can be good enough or for something else it might not be.). >> What do you think it protects you against on a linux server? > > "against a linux server?" ? > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!

David Dobkin, the director of Wedding Crashers and Shanghai Knights, has signed a deal with Warner Bros to direct and produce a re-imagined King Arthur film, based on his own script, with the help of Sherlock Holmes producer Lionel Wigram.
This is the third Arthurian project that the film studio has given a green light to in the past two years. In 2009, Usual Suspects producer Bryan Singer agreed to develop, and possibly direct, a remake of Excalibur (1981). The following year they brought Guy Ritchie on board to direct a separate project, based on Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur – a book of French and English tales published in 1485. Warner Bros has yet to announce which of these three King Arthur projects will go into production first.
Details of the Dobkin script are being kept under wraps, but it's said to include Sir Lancelot as a major component. It remains to be seen if it manages to put a different slant on a story that has, so far, been the subject of 39 films – six of them released in the past decade alone – including Parsifal (1904), Knights of the Round Table (1953), and King Arthur (2004).

Last episode saw how Shresth (Vivan) entered the club where Mansi (Samaira Rao) was seen trying to learn tennis. Upon seeing her struggling to play the game, he helped her understand it. This is when Mansi asks him to coach her and the scene freezes there.
Sources say that the actor will play a well-known tennis coach. And since Mansi wants to learn to play tennis, he will agree to coach her. However it's only later that he will learn that Mansi is Anoop's (Himmanshoo Malhotra) wife. This will be shocking news for Vivan as he and Anoop had been competitors in the past.
Talking of the role, Shresth said, "I have never played a coach before and that is why I couldn't have missed this opportunity."
Wish you good luck Shresth!

Hath Not A Jew Eyes Essays
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
There are perhaps fewer disturbing lines in all of Shakespeare than Shylock's promise to Solanio and Salarino in Act III, scene i, that he will outdo the evil that has been done to him. Shylock begins by eloquently reminding the Venetians that all people, even those who are not part of the majority culture, are human. A Jew, he reasons, is equipped with the same faculties as a Christian, and is therefore subject to feeling the same pains and comforts and emotions. The speech, however, is not a celebration of shared experience or even an invitation for the Venetians to acknowledge their enemy's humanity. Instead of using reason to elevate himself above his Venetian tormenters, Shylock delivers a monologue that allows him to sink to their level: he will, he vows, behave as villainously as they have. The speech is remarkable in that it summons a range of emotional responses to Shylock. At first, we doubtlessly sympathize with the Jew, whose right to fair and decent treatment has been so neglected by the Venetians that he must remind them that he has "hands, organs, dimensions, senses" similar to theirs (III.i.50). But Shylock's pledge to behave as badly as they, and, moreover, to "better the instruction," casts him in a less sympathetic light (III.i.61). While we understand his motivation, we cannot excuse the endless perpetuation of such villainy.
What if my house be troubled with a rat,
And I be pleased to give ten thousand ducats
To have it baned? What, are you answered yet?
Some men there are love not a gaping pig,
Some that are mad if they behold a cat,
And others when the bagpipe sings i'th' nose
Cannot contain their urine; for affection,
Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood
Of what it likes or loathes. . . .
. . .
So can I give no reason, nor I will not,
More than a lodged hate and a certain loathing
I bear Antonio, that I follow thus
A losing suit against him. Are you answered?
When, in Act IV, scene i, Antonio and Shylock are summoned before the court, the duke asks the Jew to show his adversary some mercy. Shylock responds by reasoning that he has no reason. He blames his hatred of Antonio on "affection, / [that] Mistress of passion," who is known to affect men's moods in ways they cannot explain (IV.i.49–50). Just as certain people do not know why they have an aversion to cats or certain strains of music or eating meat, Shylock cannot logically explain his dislike for Antonio. The whole of his response to the court boils down to the terribly eloquent equivalent of the simple answer: just because. The speech merits consideration not only because it articulates a range of emotions that often cannot be verbally expressed, but also because Shylock's language patterns reinforce our impression of his character. The use of repetition in the passage is frequent. Shylock returns not only to the same imagery—the "gaping pig" (IV.i.53) and the "woolen bagpipe" (IV.i.55)—but he also bookends his speech with the simple question, "Are you answered?" (IV.i.61). Here, Shylock's tightly controlled speech reflects the narrow and determined focus of his quest to satisfy his hatred.
The speech's imagery is of the prosaic sort typical of Shylock. Other characters speak in dreamily poetic tones, evoking images of angels and waters scented with spice, but Shylock draws on the most mundane examples to prove his point. To him, Antonio is a rat, and his dislike of Antonio no more odd than that which some men have toward pigs or cats. Shylock uses bodily functions to drive home his point, likening rage to urination in a crass turn of phrase that is unique to his character. Also, Shylock's rage takes on an apparent arbitrariness. Originally, Shylock's gripe with Antonio seems based on a carefully meditated catalogue of the Venetian's crimes. Here, however, it appears little more than a whim, a swing of the pendulum that "sways" to affection's moods (IV.i.50). By relying on the defense that his actions are justified simply because he feels like them, Shylock appears unpredictable and whimsical, and he further fuels our perception of his actions as careless and cruel.
You have among you many a purchased slave
Which, like your asses and your dogs and mules,
You use in abject and in slavish parts
Because you bought them. Shall I say to you
'Let them be free, marry them to your heirs.
Why sweat they under burdens?. . .
. . .
You will answer
'The slaves are ours.' So do I answer you.
The pound of flesh which I demand of him
Is dearly bought. 'Tis mine, and I will have it.
Again, in this passage, we find Shylock cleverly using Venice's own laws to support his vengeful quest and enlisting society's cruelties in defense of his own. Shylock begins his speech on a humane note, yet this opening serves merely to justify his indulgence in the same injustices he references. Shylock has no interest in exposing the wrongfulness of owning or mistreating slaves. Such property rights simply happen to be established by Venetian laws, so Shylock uses them to appeal for equal protection. If Antonio and company can purchase human flesh to "use in abject and in slavish parts," Shylock reasons, then he can purchase part of the flesh of a Venetian citizen (IV.i.91). In his mind, he has merely extended the law to its most literal interpretation. Unlike the Venetians, who are willing to bend or break the law to satisfy their wants, Shylock never strays from its letter in his pursuit of his bond. His brand of abiding by the law, however, is made unsavory by the gruesome nature of his interpretation.
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. . . .
. . .
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute to God himself,
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this:
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation. We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.
Even as she follows the standard procedure of asking Shylock for mercy, Portia reveals her skills by appealing to his methodical mind. Her argument draws on a careful process of reasoning rather than emotion. She states first that the gift of forgiving the bond would benefit Shylock, and second, that it would elevate Shylock to a godlike status. Lastly, Portia warns Shylock that his quest for justice without mercy may result in his own damnation. Although well-measured and well-reasoned, Portia's speech nonetheless casts mercy as a polarizing issue between Judaism and Christianity. Her frequent references to the divine are appeals to a clearly Christian God, and mercy emerges as a marker of Christianity. Although it seems as if Portia is offering an appeal, in retrospect her speech becomes an ultimatum, a final chance for Shylock to save himself before Portia crushes his legal arguments.
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stategems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
By Act V, with Shylock stowed safely offstage, Shakespeare returns to the comedic aspects of his play. He lightens the mood with a harmless exchange of rings that serves to reunite the lovers, and he brings Antonio's lost ships back to port. Because Shylock has been such a large, powerful presence in the play, and because his decimation at the hands of the Venetians is profoundly disturbing, the comedy in Belmont never fully escapes the shadow of the troublesome issues that precede it. The lovers' happiness, then, is most likely little more than a brief passing moment. This passage can be read as a meditation on the transitory nature of the comforts one finds in a wearisome world. Lorenzo, ordering music to celebrate Portia's homecoming, reflects that music has the power to change a man's nature. Much like a wild beast that can be tamed by the sound of a trumpet, a man can be transformed into something less "stockish, hard, and full of rage" (V.i.80). As the Venetians, all of whom have exercised "treasons, strategems, and spoils" of one kind or another throughout the play, congregate at Belmont, we imagine them as kinder and happier than they have otherwise been, but we also know that the music of Belmont will not likely survive on the streets of Venice (V.i.84).

The Merchant of Venice is horrid, cruel, and one of the most popular plays of Shakespeare. After a close reading of the play, I find it impossible to think of Shylock negatively; he is just better quality stuff than any of the Christians in the play. The Christians are truly vile, heartless, money-grabbing monsters, and when Shylock makes his final exit, destroyed by defeat, one should sense that our Christian brothers are at last completely ashamed of themselves.
I was hesitant to have anything to do with The Merchant of Venice after I first read it; all possible intrigue had dissolved as I read passages such as the following:
"He hath disgraced me and hindered me half a million, laughed
at my losses, mocked my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my
bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies, and what's his
reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? ...If you prick
us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you
poison us, do we not die?" (III.1.49-55, 58-60)
This passage tears at my very soul!!! This play was to me a biting farce written to satisfy a bloody crowd.
While researching for this paper, I found two seemingly opposing facts about The Merchant of Venice - the Shakespearean play which have sparked the most controversy. This play is the most controversial and the most studied play in Israel. It is difficult to understand how this play could be beloved by the very people who are struck down. Apparently there are various readings of The Merchant of Venice which I had not considered.
Perhaps the play is neither pro-Jewish, nor pro-Christian. Sure, Shylock is painted as a money-hungry Jew throughout the Merchant,
"My daughter, O my ducats!
My ducats, O my daughter!"
Shylock is enraged his daughter has eloped with a Christian, but perhaps he is more concerned with the fate of his money.
Antonio, a Christian, has borrowed money from Shylock and refuses to pay it back. Here the reader may find a Jew-hating man who publicly spits on Shylock, and suffers from the grief of an unfullfilled homo-erotic relationship. Plainly, it can be seen that the Christians in this play are far from holy or perfect.
The illustrations which show neither the Jew nor the Christian to be perfect are countless. I feel better reading the play now that I have the option to view Shakespeare as a man of his time who was able to step away from the prejudices of the world in which he lived, and present injustice as he saw it.

When I was 18 years old, I existed in a world of numbers. Calories. Weights. I meticulously counted everything—steps, bites, meals, minutes. I had just been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
I developed an eating disorder after a series of events: the loss of a family member, moving out of my house for the first time, starting college, feeling abandoned when most of my friends flew across the world to attend a gap year in Israel, and experiencing a series of tough social experiences that left me feeling broken and unwanted. These events, coupled with my genetics and personal history, led to anorexia.
It did not happen overnight. It was not a choice. And it was not a phase. I just found myself behaving and thinking in ways that were self-destructive but somehow made sense. My relationships crumbled as I felt uncomfortable and undeserving of friendships and loved ones. The negative messages I had been given regarding my self-worth sunk in and believed that I had no value.
I had already been seeing a therapist before my eating disorder began to deal with the losses and difficulties I mentioned. When I realized I had developed anorexia and told my parents about it, the therapist advised them to simply "let it go away on its own, with time." Luckily, my parents stepped in quickly and got me medical attention. I found out that my behaviors had taken a toll not only on my body but also on my mind. My entire pattern of thinking had changed both because I was malnourished and because the eating disorder consumed my brain in a manner that changed me. After months of dragging my feet and living in shadows, my life and meals being spoon-fed to me, I awoke one day to the realities of my situation: I had a mental illness, and I needed help.
The Orthodox Union produced a film called "Hungry to Be Heard" on eating disorders in the Jewish community. My father showed me this film and for the first time since the onset of my eating disorder I cried tears of recognition: I was not alone. I turned to my parents and told them that I needed help. Five years later, I am fully recovered, a statement that for years I thought I'd never be able to make.
Recovery from an eating disorder is a process that involves patience and commitment. After initially returning home from treatment, I was not miraculously cured. It took some time. But the shadow I had become needed to realign itself with the Temimah who was itching and scraping to re-emerge. And so I fought.
My journey toward recovery included reconnecting with friends and rekindling old relationships. I let in my loved ones, who were eager to understand and wanted nothing more than to hold my hand along the journey. I went back to school and began forming an identity again; I was a student, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, a friend.
I involved myself in hobbies and charity work with my father, taking my mind off of my body and struggle. And I reconnected to religion and learned that mine (Judaism) could be a source of hope for me—I had something stronger to believe in.
An eating disorder takes no mercy. It robs the individual of happiness, and a true meaningful life cannot be lived while suffering. My journey to recovery had some kinks, but I knew with all my soul that I wanted to embrace my life and I wouldn't let an eating disorder get in my way.
Temimah Zucker is a student at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work. She speaks publicly on eating disorders and body image, works as a mentor, and is in the process of creating Tikvah V'Chizuk, an organization that will provide support to the Jewish community. Temimah lives in Teaneck, N.J., and has an adorable poodle named Ferdie.

Coffey Architects' thoughtful extension at St Patrick's School in north London has given pupils an inspiring space to read, play music and perform. Photography by Tim Soar
'Less is More' would seem to sum up this tiny, ingenious school extension providing a library, music room and store, said the RIBA jury of Coffey Architects' smart, tough, thoughtful project in London's Kentish town.
The extension is effectively just one volume - but one which has been manipulated to provide a number of different spaces. These include a mezzanine gallery, a central performance 'stage' that extends outwards into the playground and is sheltered by a canopy ("an informal proscenium for play " said the jury) and finely crafted staircase and bookcases, with built-in benches, that line the interior on three sides.
Practice director Phil Coffey explains that the brief initially asked that the extension be placed on the roof. This proved cost prohibitive - inclusive access was central to the extension's remit - and Coffey argued in favour of using a corner plot. If developed, he suggested, it would "make a significant difference to the school in terms of its place in the community, its relationship to parents and ongoing entrance issues, the possibility of relating to external teaching spaces, and most importantly to create a wonderful space to inspire children that they could relate to as the symbol of their school."
It was the right decision: the relocation successfully connects the school to the immediate townscape as well as creating a stronger relationship with the existing school building and its playground.
Early in the design process, the children were taken outside to sit in the proposed location of the building and read and play musical instruments to each other, connecting them with the space and the idea of having a new, special room.
There was one other smart move: by creating a separate building - it does not physically attach to the existing aschool building - the project was not subject to VAT, an unforeseen cost saving which directed funds back into design.

Fed Tries Mortgage Bonds to Boost Housing Sector
According to the minutes of the September 12-13 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, most members agreed that the directive to begin purchasing agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of about $40 billion per month could be preferable to purchasing Treasury securities because they would more directly support the housing sector, which remains weak but has shown some signs of improvement of late.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the committee also authorized keeping the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 0.25%.
The committee said it would continue the maturity extension program it announced in June to purchase Treasury securities with remaining maturities of six years to 30 years with a total face value of about $267 billion by the end of December 2012, and to sell or redeem Treasury securities with remaining maturities of approximately three years or less with a total face value of about $267 billion.
The committee also agreed to maintain its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments on all agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in the System Open Market Account in agency mortgage-backed securities. It also directed to begin purchasing agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of about $40 billion per month.

In the latest of a series of interviews designed to introduce BHS members to their local committee, we meet David Britnell, who joined the Buckinghamshire committee in late 2012…
Name: David Britnell
Lives: In the stunning Chiltern hills!
Age (a ballpark please!): 21
Family: I live with my parents and sister, and the horses.
Occupation: I'm a registered BHSAI and work freelance here, there and everywhere.
Tell us about… your first pony: My first pony was called Timmy. He was a New Forest that was used in mum's Riding School and then taught my sister and I to ride.
…the first fall you can remember: Probably learning to jump on Timmy. There are other, more memorable, falls though. For example, when I vaulted on to my older horse, Buddy, in the field and he bolted off bucking as he went. I flew off and landed in the bomb hole in the field!
…the first rosette you remember winning: I can't remember, but it will have been at a Pony Club competition of some sort.
…your horsey highlight: Coming 5th in the BE100 Grassroots Championships at Badminton this spring, on Continuity, was very special. Also, riding on the beaches in Norfolk when on holiday was good fun.
…your most embarrassing horsey moment: I can think of a couple! I once pulled all the buttons off my jacket right before a dressage competition, when I tried to vault on (normally not a problem) and the horse moved out of the way so I missed. Secondly, on my last run of the season last year I galloped right past the penultimate fence on the cross-country, thereby missing out on second place on my birthday. It was my sister's horse, too, oops!
…your current horse(s): I currently have Brad (Continuity) who is competing at Novice BE and Elementary BD, and James (Newmiln Jamestown) who is also at Novice BE and Elementary/Medium BD. I also have Buddy, who was my second horse and took me to Intermediate Novice BE, Medium BD, and to the Pony Club Championships in most disciplines.
Do you compete? What is your preferred discipline? I really enjoy the thrill of eventing.
What's your equine ambition? To complete Badminton.
Share your yard secrets, please… what are your best time saving tips? Get up early and crack on!
What about money saving tips? Keep fewer horses...
Tell us about your involvement with the BHS… what is your role on the committee? I'm the Junior rep, so basically the 'voice of the youth' for BHS members in the region.
How did you get involved with the BHS? I joined to take my exams and benefit from the knowledge of the organisation.
What's your favourite part of the role? I enjoy being able to try to improve the BHS in our county.
Thanks, David! Next time, we meet another Buckinghamshire committee member.

You're killing me, Smalls! Sandlot costars Chauncey Leopardi (Squints) and Patrick Renna (Ham) reunited at a Minnesota Twins game on May 17 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1993 cult classic.
Leopardi, now 31, and Renna, now 34, are currently traveling with director David Mickey Evans on a nationwide tour to host special screenings of the baseball comedy. The stars paid a visit to Target Field in Minneapolis and chatted with Fox Sports about how it feels to be reunited.
"Seeing these guys, it's like we were never apart," Renna said.
"It's been a while," Evans added. "I get to hang out with them. It was lump in the throat time. We've kept in touch a little bit and keep tabs on each other."
The cast happily posed for photos with Twins players, who, understandably, are big fans of the film. "It's to the point where I'm a little bit older than most of the players," Leopardi said. "So it's cool that they kind of grew up with it so when I do meet major league players, as happy as I am to meet them, it's mutual."
And they all have a mutual love for baseball.
"Honestly, that's kind of what the sport of baseball is about. It's about teamwork and teammates," Renna said. "But there's something more to baseball than, in my opinion, any other sport. Even coming and watching a baseball game, the experience. I think that's why Sandlot has stood the test of time so well because it's about so much more. It's not just your typical sports movie."

90 POINTS Wine Spectator
"Polished, velvety and expressive, offering layers of black cherry, blackberry, chocolate and spice flavors that linger effortlessly on the extensive finish." -Harvey Steiman, September 2013
Outstanding Best Buy! GreatNorthwestWine.com
"Milbrandt struck twice at the top of our list of great Washington Cabs, and this is a great bargain to boot. It was among the most expressive wines we tasted in this judging. On the nose, it provides aromas of brown sugar, poached plum on parchment paper, white pepper, blackberry and freshly ground coffee. It is an elegant wine on the palate, with flavors of President plum, a hint of chocolate and a dash of spice. Perfectly balanced acidity and tannin meld with a touch of oak in this delicious wine that can be enjoyed any day of the week." -March 2013

Human Rights
Rather than Triple Talaq being a "Human Rights issue", "Human Rights" itself needs to be debated
By Dr. Javed Jamil, The Milli Gazette Online
Published Online: Feb 24, 2017
Recently the Supreme Court of India argued that the Triple Talaq has to be treated as a human rights issue. While I am no supporter of Triple Talaq and regard it un-Islamic, the intervention by Supreme Court or the Government in this regard will not solve the problem. On the other hand it would complicate matters. Even if it is legally banned, those following their own fiqhs would not start thinking that a woman divorced by this methods would become Halal. Those who do not stick to the fiqhs have the option available to them even now, the option of taking fatwas from the Muftis belonging to Fiqhs like Ahl-e Hadith and Fiqh-e Jafari that consider Triple Talaq as invalid. But what I want to highlight here is that the issue of "human rights" which had been and is being presented as one of the shining starts of the New World Order has only proved to be a black hole.
The modern concept of human rights originated from the West. Superficially, it looks a very attractive slogan. But the ulterior motives are not as attractive. West feared that the kind of economic fundamentalism it had decided to aggressively (including a new legal system banning capital punishment) pursue had same very serious adverse effects. It would engender barbarism in society in the form of steep rise in all forms of crimes including murder, rape, robbery and bribe. It would also enhance societal tensions as well as psychiatric illnesses. If these really happened, it would give a bad name to their ideology. To counter this, the economic fundamentalists sought to impart a new meaning to 'human rights' so that the darker face of their civilization could not come to the fore; and they could use the brighter side to attack the systems that were unwilling to accept the West's economic hegemony. The result of such re-orientation has been that the human rights situation in a country is not assessed on the basis of crimes in that area but on how the accused in various crimes are being treated by the governmental institutions and agencies. Apparently, the human rights organisations argue that they safeguard the people against excesses. But in reality, they only serve the criminals and saboteurs of social peace. What happens to the victims of a crime and their relatives does not bother them; their function is only to follow the trial of the accused. The economic fundamentalists have vested interests in the paralysed legal system because the criminals and crimes form an indispensable part of their operations. The criminals are supported in more than one way. If they or their crimes have any political dimensions the champions of human rights are quick to label their trial as 'political vendetta'. While it is true that the governments tend to be less kind towards their opponents and often use the stick of law to punish them, it is equally true that all political forces have some nexus with the criminals who are used to creating ugly situations for the ruling party or coalition. This side of the coin is however intentionally ignored. The human rights organisations never publish reports on the crime-situation in different countries and never pressurise the governments to drastically reduce them so that the common people can pass their lives without fears. Such reports would unveil their own faces and fingers will be at against Western ideologies. Instead they highlight the data related to death sentences and the deaths caused by the agencies or certain elements.
"Women's Rights" is yet another extremely favourite subject with the Amnesties and the Human Rights Watchers. And it is needless to repeat that the major aim behind all the raucous is to assist the merchants of sex and barons of consumer industry. Why is it that "purdah" annoys them but prostitution does not? Why has the Amnesty, the self-proclaimed champion of human rights, never bothered to tell the world that there cannot be a bigger crime against womanhood than its sordid commercialisation and a civilization cannot claim to be a true human civilization if it creates a social environment, in which women have to sell, by choice or by force, their bodies? It takes extraordinary pains to highlight the cases of rapes in police custody or in prisons but its eyes do not bleed at the thousands of rapes the innocent women have to suffer daily all over the world. If it begins to describe the strategies of the commercial exploitation of women nothing else would be required to prove its credentials. But the truth is that the Amnesty is damnesty, which is only a mouthpiece of the economic fundamentalists; its aim is limited to glorify Westernism and degrade every other system .One of the issues
"Human Rights" in the modern world have virtually been reduced to the rights of the murderers and rapists against being executed, the rights of gays against being targeted for their highly dangerous habits and the rights of women for aborting their children in order to make things easy for the male-dominated socio-economic system. Even violence has been categorised to suit their own plans so that the powerful appear to be peace-loving and those who refuse to toe them appear to be dangerous. They will condemn "terrorism" and will ignore war; and if their own people indulge in "terrorism" they will call it "war of liberation" from the rulers. They have no concern for the lives lost in crimes and suicides within their own countries, the lives lost in wars against other countries and the rebellions masterminded by them. They are also not concerned about the tens of millions of lives lost annually due to social vices like alcohol, smoking and unhealthy and immoral sexual practices. They will talk for days about beheadings but will not talk of bombs that kill thousands of times the beheadings kill. Bombs become dangerous for them only if they are used by their enemies.
It is now high time the concept of Human rights was re-examined. Human rights are nothing if they do not guarantee the security of the common people, including men, women and children, old, young and yet-to-be born. Islam has a larger plan, which aims at Human Security, "human rights" being only one of the means to achieve that aims. To ensure human security, emphasis on prohibitions is equally essential. Human Security demands that lives of all human beings must be safeguarded against all kinds of external threats. None -- individual, society, corporate sector or government, can be allowed to offer the choice of death to the people; freedom of choice must be limited to choice among the good. A choice between life and death cannot simply be given to the people. A child cannot be left on a highway hoping that it will take all the necessary precautions to save it from being crushed by fast moving vehicles. People are like children who more often than not are guided by baser instincts that suck them into all forms of life-threatening and peace-threatening habits. Addiction has hardly any regard or fondness for knowledge and sanity. Who knows better, about the effects of alcohol, smoking and sexual perversions, than do doctors? Still they often succumb to the temptations. A smoker, a drinker, a drug addict and a promiscuous person understand that they face huge risks on account of their habits; but such is the effect of these on baser instincts that they find it hard to be governed by their knowledge.
The propaganda against Triple Talaq in India is also directly or indirectly supported by the organisations having liberal inclinations. They want Muslim women to feel that Islam does not provide adequate cover to them. They want to use it as a ploy to turn them into rebels. Once they have their doubts about religion, they will become easy preys to the market-sponsored feminism, which is nothing but a part of the larger plan that sees humans not as human beings but as commercial beings.
The Ulama of course are not helping the cause. Instead of taking advantage of the position of so many fuqaha who opposed Triple Talaq, they have made it an issue of ego. What to speak of declaring Triple Talaq as invalid, they have not even spread mass awareness about the true Quranic method of divorce. Today, hardly a few know about a method of divorce other than pronouncing the word Talaq three times. Even where speeches are made on the issue, they often tend to tell about the various methods of Talaq rather than sticking only to the best one, which involves pronouncement of Talaq for a period od Iddah, which is at least three months, and revoking or finalising Talq through liberation at the time of the completion of the period.
The Supreme Court would better debate the concept and dimension of "Human Rights" and ask why the market forces are using it for their own ends. It must ask why highly undignified and unhealthy practices like prostitution and abortions are being allowed in the name of "Freedom of Choice". It must seek answers to whether the current position of "Human Rights" organisations helps or endangers the cause of the security of the larger people, especially women, children and weaker sections of society.

This past weekend they had a grand opening for the 52 freeway where it connects to the 67 which i know sounds kind of cheesy but we decided to go check it out. They had free shirts, food, entertainment, and activities for the kiddos. It was crazy crowded! Apparently no one in east county has anything better to do than to go hang out on the freeway. We got some fun pictures and I cant wait for the freeway to finally open since it will make my twice daily drive out to Sophia's school SO much faster!
