Annually the Women's and Gender Studies Program organizes the Julia Reinstein Symposium, made possible by a bequest from college alumna Julia Reinstein '28, a feminist, early lesbian activist, and strong supporter of women's issues. Each year, in cooperation with Students Against Sexism and Stereotypes (SASS), we choose a different theme and invite a keynote speaker.
This year's theme is "Planned Parenthood: 100 Years Strong" and the keynote speaker is Liz Gipson, Director of Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood of the Southern Finger Lakes.
We also sponsor student presentations, where students present their original research and discuss their key findings with the campus community. Some symposia include workshops, film screenings, talk-backs, art exhibits, fundraising events, activist projects, or theater performances. Recent themes have included: "Women's Bodies and the Politics of Reproduction," "Uncertain Times: Women Around the World, "Elmira College, Champion of Women's Rights and Education since 1855," and "Celebrating International Women."

(WARNING: The following contains a deleted scene that would originally have been located a fair chunk of the way into Warner Bros' Suicide Squad, and can this be considered to contain mild SPOILERS. Proceed with caution, and all that.)
Now, the full theatrical version of #WarnerBros' #SuicideSquad isn't exactly the most family friendly of films, with plenty of bloodshed, uncorrected misogyny and general superpowered psychopathy on display for all to see, but it seems that its previously unreleased #deletedscenes may well be set to double down on its darkness, all the same. That, at least, is the overriding impression given by the latest such clip from Suicide Squad's upcoming extended edition to be released onto the wide and woolly web.
Not least because...
This New Suicide Squad Deleted Scene Shows A Darker Side To Harley Quinn
Or, perhaps more accurately, a differently dark side to #MargotRobbie's distinctly disturbed #HarleyQuinn. Specifically, one that is less interested in messing with authority figures and Batmen, and more totally down for passive aggressively bullying a crocodile man with severe body image issues:
Which, on the one hand, makes Harley Quinn a massive tool, but on the other, arguably makes her character all the more interesting. After all, by hinting at a wide-reaching (and presumably partly trauma-induced) sociopathy within Quinn, the scene suggests a more complex emotional being than much of the theatrical version did. Which, combined with Robbie's ability to sell the role (irrespective of the quality of the script given to her) makes it an intriguing — albeit unsurprisingly expendable — scene.
And that's before we even get to the new footage of Harley and #TheJoker that recently emerged:
What do you think, though? Do the deleted scenes above redefine Harley Quinn's role in Suicide Squad for you? Let us know below!

Nigerians have reacted to the news of lawmakers travelling to the United Kingdom (UK), where they are to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Emerging reports suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari is currently inand the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, at Abuja House in London.
Following the report, Nigerians have taken to social media to share their support and their displeasure of this visit.
Many are still asking the question, why will the president keep answering and call other people, receiving guests, while he has left his people in the dark.
READ ALSO: APC group raises alarm, says some people are exploiting President Buhari's state of health
Ugochukwu Onyedikachukwu Isaac said: "So this is how it will continue? Everyone must go to London to meet Buhari? Is he the president of Nigeria or UK prime minister? like play! Like play e don dey reach one good month buhari travel! Let him come back. If he is from other tribe now all this hausa fulani Imbeciles and blood thirsty demons should have started killing!"
Achigbu Marcel said: "All these politicians have been wasting our tax payers money in the name of going to London to see Buhari. Has PMB become a museum, monument, tourist centre or what?"
Ifenze Pokoson said: "It will be a very big shame out the end if buhari did not come back alive. I don't know where all this men that is lying to us we hide there faces."
Blessing Praise said: "Buhari is hale and hearty.....buhari is neither sick nor in any London hospital but on vacation..... Buhari is not only hale and hearty but chatty.......Pray for buhari.....buhari is waiting for test result.....lbikunle Amosun went to London to visit buhari who's on vacation....... Bola Tinubu and Akande visited buhari...... buhari has extended his vacation indefinitely until his doctors are satisfied with his health.......Trump called buhari and they discussed for 5mins.....Buhari is home sick...
What a country..... So this is the kind of change this APC promised Nigerians?..... Liar Mohammed is a pathological liar....Adesina a seasoned propagandist.... How can these people take the whole Nigerians for a ride in broad day light?..…...We're watching the drama as it unfolds."
Paul Kaigama asked a question saying: "why traveling down to London, if that is the case they should also pay the poor Nigerian masses to also go and see their president in London. i know somebody may ask where would they get the flight fare. they should use the one that the president and his alias are using, because the money is our revenue which they are only using it for their benefit without acknowledging our own case of hardship.
Uwanaka I. Cyriacus Shebi said: all these travel to see Buhari na from our pocket, our tax payer's sweat? These people have no mercy for the suffering Nigerians. See how they are waisting the little money while the majority of us a dying in hunger. Merciless leaders."
PAY ATTENTION: Get the latest News on NAIJ.com News App
Bolanle Macaulay said: "Of all the people who Nigerians should believe to confirm buhari's state of being, White House press secretary Sean spicer isn't one of them, the dishonesty of the Trump administration and it's disregard for truth has given the administration a bad name, the protest and anger of Americans can be seen daily on all the major news outlets of the world, if all we have as proof of life is the world of the mouth piece for the Trump administration who have been quoted to tell lies constantly, then I can say in all earnest that the Nigerian president is either unconscious or dead."
Doris Enebuse said: Continue flying with our money to London anyhow, God is watching you all as if the fare is hundred naira, corrupt minded people"
Akobundu D Akusobi said: "You people should stop wasting our money because of this buhari's medical in london, how much do you people spend on a trip? Some people are dying bcos no food to eat."
Meek Kerobo said: "I haven't seen a country like this, where their leaders are so unserious, visionless. The only news we hear its president health issues,no body is talking about thousands of people homeless, dying everyday, many are jobless with social vices growing daily, what a country that never was."
Saliz Omorkhogie said: "How does their traveling affect the high prize of goods and services in the country? How does it relieve the perpetual pains and anguish of the common man on the streets?? How does it even reduce the prize of fuel prize. You guys should tell ur something else please. I think we re even better off without a president, than our current state of abject pain and peril. This is not what we hoped to experience. Too bad...."
Smart Snooty Young But Adesina say dat Buhari will soon return, he even say dat he's no confortable in London anymore. Y wasting our tax payer abi una dey hide sometin 4 us???
A Professor of international law and jurisprudence at the University of Lagos, UNILAG, Akin Oyebode, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to speak to Nigerians.
Oyebode argued that if President Buhari could speak with United States President, Donald Trump, he should also speak to the people he left behind in Nigeria.
The Professor spoke following Buhari's phone conversation with Trump, adding that it had "become more necessary" for the President to speak to Nigerians.
He told reporters in Lagos, "I have seen pictures in the papers and he looks okay, and the wife says pray for him and all that, to assure us that everything is okay.=
"But the pressure is on him now having spoken to Donald Trump.
"The least he can do for us is either to come back quickly or address Nigerians by teleconferencing or Skype or whatever.
"He should address Nigerians that it's not as bad as you guys think. It will soothe the worried balms in Nigeria.
"If the president can find the time to talk to Donald Trump, then he should be able to talk to us."

The refreshed Urban Adaptation Support Tool provides new insights into the links between adaptation and mitigation
The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy promotes integrated mitigation and adaptation action. For many cities, adaptation is a rather unknown topic. Therefore, the Covenant provides practical guidance and knowledge to support adaptation planning and implementation to signatory cities as well as to any other interested cities, towns or stakeholders in Europe and beyond through its Urban Adaptation Support Tool.
The tool is hosted on the Climate-ADAPT platform, the central EU knowledge portal on adaptation. It offers a quick-start step-by-step guidance through the adaptation planning and implementation cycle steps and facilitates easy access to in-depth, expert information and data by providing a comprehensive up-to-date database of literature and information sources for each step of the urban adaptation cycle.
In an effort to provide practitioners from local authorities with the most up-to-date information and improve the user experience, the Urban Adaptation Support Tool is continuously being updated. We are happy to invite urban adaptation practitioners to visit and use the freshly-revised tool.
Apart from overall improvements of the layout, usability and additional links to new knowledge sources, the most significant new developments are:
The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy team welcomes any comments and suggestions on how to improve the tool. You can leave your feedback through this contact form.

POLICE have charged a further ten people following an investigation into football-related disorder before a Premier League football match in Sunderland.
It happened at around 2.15pm on Saturday, January 12, outside Revolution Bar at Low Row in the city centre, prior to the Sunderland v West Ham match.
An extensive investigation has taken place and the following ten people associated with West Ham United have this week been charged with violent disorder:
They are:
•Christopher Draddy, 24, of Cheriton Close, St Albans, Herts
•Jamie Hume, 28, Clayburn Road, Hampton Centre, Peterborough
•Ryan Evans, 18, of Cumberland Close, Hornchurch, Essex
•Jack Donovan, 18, Mashiters Walk, Romford, Essex
•Harry Saunders, 19, of Martindale Avenue, Basildon, Essex
•Danny Brooker, 23, of Priory Avenue, Harefield, Middlesex
•Matthew Dobberson, 18, Padnall Court, Romford, Essex
•Craig Defew, 21, of Layhill Close, Bury-St-Edmunds
•Andrew Siedlaczek, 23, Fortinbras, Chelmsford, Herts
•Charlie Adolf, 21, of Gibbons Close in St Albans, Herts
They are all due to appear at Sunderland Magistrates' Court on May 30.
Officers have already charged 24 people associated with Sunderland AFC as part of the investigation and they are due to appear at Sunderland Magistrates' Court on May 20.
All of those charged have strict bail conditions restricting their attendance at football matches.
Chief Superintendent Kay Blyth, Sunderland Area Commander, said: "This has been an extensive investigation and we received an excellent response from the public when CCTV images of the incident were released.
"There are 24 Sunderland and 10 West Ham supporters charged with offences, bringing the total number of people charged in connection with the incident to 34. They are all going through the court process and currently have stringent bail conditions.
"As we've said previously the vast majority of football supporters just want to enjoy the match. However, when any kind of violence takes place we will do everything possible to make sure those suspected of being involved are traced and the appropriate action is taken."

A unique wine by the Duero
Port wine is one of Europe's greatest classics. Its history is vast, and fascinating. In fact, this wine and sherry's (about which we've talked about here before) are the only ones that adopt distinct elaboration processes. Meaning: they do not follow the same fermentation criteria of the world's other wine types.
The cultivation of vines in Portugal comes from the Ancient times. Stories of Strabo, Ancient Greece's great geographer, reveal that the inhabitants of the Northeast portion of the Iberian Peninsula used to drink wine over 2.000 years ago.
The Romans, who arrived in Portugal in the second century BC and there remained for over 500 years, cultivated vines and produced wine by the river Duero, where Port wine is currently produced. During the prosperity period which followed the creation of the rein of Portugal in 1143, the wine would be transformed into an important export product.
The first wine shipments under the name 'Port wine' date from 1678. Even though it was produced in Portugal's countryside, the wine took after the name of the city of Port, on the Atlantic coast, from where it was traditionally exported.
On the other hand, Port wine as we know it was only produced much later. The first bottles were commercialized only recently, on the second half of the 17th Century.
Many of the oldest and most famous producers, like Taylor's or Croft, are English or Scottish, since for the most part of Port wine's history the United Kingdom was its main market. Currently, Port wine is all over the globe. That's another connection with sherry wine, since the British were also the ones who encouraged its development.
One of the fascinating aspects of Port wine is the great variety of styles in which they are produced, each one with its characteristic flavors – going from intense wild fruits of a Reserve or a Late Bottled Vintage, going through the complex, opulent flavors of a Tawny aged in wood, until the sublime grandiosity of a Vintage.
More than any other wine, Port wine offers infinite possibilities of harmonization with foods.

Arc In Round
Mako Sica, Proexhibitors, Ron Tubman, DJ Joe Patitucci
Silk City Diner
435 Spring Garden St.
Philadelphia, PA, 19123
This event is 21 and over
Arc in Round's self-titled debut LP, rejects a sensibility garnered from endless hours of studio tracking and hypnotic experimentation. The album is a re-invention of influence, ranging from melodic gems (think Stereolab meets Broadcast) to epic prog jams, tied securely yet ever so loosely together by haunting male and female vocals. The LP brims with layered dissonance and experimentation à la Disco Inferno & This Heat being driven by the Motorik Kraut rhythms of Neu and Can. This is carefully crafted dark pop – taut yet spacey, noisy yet melodic; it's a smart experiment in sonic evolution. There is a sweet contradiction in the intricate metamorphosis of sound and song; each track feeding from one another until the sum of its parts breaks free.
Mixing punk ideals and the experimental traditions of their Chicago hometown, Mako Sica craft spacious excursions that touch on post-rock, prog, and avant jazz without owing too much of a debt to any particular influence. The trio is comprised of guitarist/trumpeter Przemyslaw Drazek and percussionist Michael Kendrick, both formerly of the electro-acoustic group Rope, and guitarist/vocalistBrent Fuscaldo. Their name is a Sioux Lakota Native American term meaning "land bad," it fits the band's sprawling, sometimes menacing, expanses perfectly. The band has recorded for Permanent Records, Teen River and Slow Knife. Essence, the band's second full-length on La Societe Expeditionnaire, sold out shortly after its release in 2012. It's just been repressed and will be available at tonight's show.

One of the critical elements to a great forehand is good preparation. You need to prepare early in order to hit good shots, but what exactly does prepare early mean?
Most likely, coaches have told you to "take your racket back early." In this new video, OTI Instructor Nadim Naser explains what that really entails and what you need to focus on to deliver the perfect forehand.

"...if two clever men meet who are not intimate, but respect each other, like you and me, it takes them half an hour before they can find a subject for conversation--they are dumb, they sit opposite each other and feel awkward!"

"Great service - let down by wait times"
About: St Bartholomew's Hospital St Bartholomew's Hospital London EC1A 7BE
Posted via NHS Choices
Visited the Minor Injuries Unit with a possible broken toe. I was seen by the first nurse within about 30-45 minutes. Then referred to the X-ray unit, which was very quick, then sent back to the minor injuries unit to see the senior nurse.
I had to wait about 2 hours to see the senior nurse, who explained the treatment and options very clearly and got me on my way.
Overall, very pleased with the service provided. Anything that can be done to reduce the time between x-ray and second assessment would really improve the unit.
Would recommend getting there as early as you can.
Response from St Bartholomew's Hospital 16 months ago
Thank you for sending us your feedback following your recent visit to the Minor Injuries Unit at St Bartholomew's Hospital. We are pleased to hear that you were happy with the service that was provided and we apologise for the wait that you experienced.
Best Wishes,

Ubisoft's Patrick Redding proposes a "lower-case aaa" style of game that will drive the industry forward, points to Minecraft as a model example.
It's hard for it to be the future when it costs so much for developers to make. Most can't sustain that sort of risk. The big budget games will always exist, but there will be fewer and fewer I think.
Maybe for Ubisoft it isnt but all these new engines & nx gen games being prepped seem to be AAA to me.. Waiting on E3 to roll around is going to kill me with anticipation

Mirror, mirror on the wall - whos the top king and queen of them all?
Hahnville and Destrehan seniors suit up to shine in the race for the hottest seat in town - the homecoming throne
Heather R. Breaux - Sep 13, 2007
Election signs for parish president, councilman and many other sought-after government positions have popped up as political barricades alongside most of the roadways in St. Charles Parish, but if youre a student or teacher at Destrehan and Hahnville High Schools then youve noticed that theres a whole other battle going on - the spirited sprint to the throne in the race to reign as homecoming king and queen.
Hahnville Highs school publicity associate and homecoming coordinator Paula Gonzales says the school has celebrated this years event with a cornucopia of activities all beginning with the selection of the court.
The schools seniors are the only students eligible for nomination into the group and they are chosen by other seniors, Gonzales told the Herald-Guide.
According to HHS rules and regulations, 20 students - 10 males and 10 females - vie for the socially-prestigious title of homecoming king and queen.
After the court is chosen, the varsity football team decides who to crown as the queen and the senior class chooses the king, said Gonzales.
Homecoming exhibitions at HHS include a fun-filled pep rally, the presentation of the boys court complete with a parade consisting of handmade floats and Club Olympiad relay races - just to name a few.
But once you cross the Hale Boggs Bridge and enter Wildcat territory, it takes more than just having seniority over the school to be in the running for homecoming court.
Cori Southard, history teacher and homecoming coordinator for DHS, says that all seniors are eligible to become members of the court, but there are other credentials that must be met.
All seniors whove had no discipline referrals, have maintained a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at the end of their junior year and who are in good standing as a member of at least one organization or sport can be a candidate for the homecoming court, said Southard.
A total of 24 DHS students - 12 boys and 12 girls - make up the court at Destrehan and the week leading up to the big announcement brimmed with catered luncheons, personalized gifts from the student body and the administration, and a motorcade parade to introduce the court.
Being a member of the homecoming court is an honor for our students who give so much to make DHS such a special place, said Southard.
And that means that the kids who are chosen should maintain the courts integrity and not violate any of the schools rules, she continued.
Both high schools will present the winning kings and queens to their fellow classmates on Friday, Sept. 14 either before the varsity football game or during halftime.
For pictures and a complete listing of this years DHS and HHS homecoming courts, turn to pages 5B and 6B and check out the Herald-Guide photo spectacular that zeroes in on the whos who of high school.

This is one of the greatest things about quilting in this century. It is so easy to find out things about others with the same hobbies. They can't visit, but yet they can share ideas. The demos that you watch online are invaluable. If you don't know, then someone else does and they are great about sharing. I love quilting and the online. I buy fabric and thread from all over the world. A lot different from when our grandmothers quilted. I really relax and grow just by looking at others work online. Its like going to a museum without the admission fee. The internet fee is enough. Did you find a parking place?
I'm from Philadelphia originally and now live in Interlachen, FL (NE Florida). Former quilt shop owner and from the looks maybe the first guy to post.
Murray, Kentucky is my home. I retired in 2009 and started gathering up all my quilting supplies. Gathering up is half the fun huh? This week I joined a local guild. I am having so much fun. I still wake up in the mornings and smile when I realize that I can stay home and sew. I truly believe that whoever dies with the most thread and fabric wins.................
I love seeing where everyone is from!!! Seems like my state is poorly represented, though not as badly as D.C.!!! We need more quilters in AL!!!

Boston, MA (PressExposure) January 02, 2014 -- UK-based software developer, Yoshki, announced today the immediate availability of their brand protection and online asset management software in the U.S. market.

Yoshki has a long track record in the UK, working with clients like the Trading Standards Institute, The British Institute of Cleaning Science and the British Association of Removers.

Unanswered: agent mail / outlook 2003 catch 22
I've just installed and configured outlook 2003 with sql agent mail and I've come across a strange conundrum: messages from agent mail are not actually sent unless the outlook client is open, but the default mail folder is locked by agent when agent is started, thus preventing outlook 2003 from opening. If I try things the other way - opening the client and then configuring/restarting agent mail - then agent mail can't access the default mail folder because the client has it locked.
There doesn't seem to be any way to win here.
Anyone come across this issue and found a workaround?Kit Lemmonds

I don't have a solution for your specific problem. I use this:
which doesn't require an email client on the server at all. Perhaps it would work in your situation.Paul

If I recall correctly, you have to configure SQL Agent Mail using the Outlook 2000 Client.
Here are some links:

Thanks, guys. It appears that Outlook 2003 is not compatible with Agent Mail (though it's fine with SQL Mail).
For anyone else who runs into this problem, I've thrown together a stored procedure which, when scheduled into an hourly job, will email you when a job fails along with the cause of the failure. I'm sure I could have made this neater, but it works and that's all I need. An example of the error email message is as follows:

Boring. Ok, if it's boring, then find a clearly written piece of documentation that shows you the absolutely easy way to convert an integer to a string in C++/CX? Go ahead I'll wait. I just spent the morning trying to find clear step by step procedures on how to convert an integer to string for use in XAML and C++. Sure I know how to do this in ANSI C++, but that wasn't my goal, I needed the correct string to enter an integer into one of the XAML Textbox or Textblock controls. And if you are a device driving kind of developer, this is likely not for you. But basically you use the .ToString() to do the conversion (that is a period followed by the ToString() at the end there is the open and close parentheses.
Here is how:
Create a Windows Store App in C++
- Add a button, textbox and textblock control
- Use the following code, replace the grid that is in the XAML code your project name will vary:Pretty simple XAML, just like the XAML you are used to.
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Button x:Name="ExampleButton" Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="142" Margin="78,290,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="572" Tapped="ExampleTapped" />
<TextBlock x:Name="txtTextBlock" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="107" Margin="78,10,0,0"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="572" FontSize="36"/>
<TextBox x:Name="txtTextBox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="78,147,0,0"
TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="572" FontSize="36"/>
- Add some code, which is the main part of this discussion, to the MainPage.xaml.cpp, if you used the code above, make sure to use the "Navigate Event" on the right click hover over the Button Content, then place this into the button click event (Note the line with the keyword void on it is the "click event" if it looks like the line below, ExampleTapped is built off of the name of the button
void IntegerToStringConversion::MainPage::ExampleTapped(Platform::Object^ sender, Windows::UI::Xaml::Input::TappedRoutedEventArgs^ e)
int integer8 = 8;
double double20 = 20.0;
"TextBlock " + integer8.ToString() + " Double " + double20.ToString();
integer8.ToString() + " TextBox";
Possible error statements
If you forget to add the parentheses after the "ToString()" you will likely see errors like the following:
c:\users\sstokes\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\integertostringconversion\mainpage.xaml.cpp(48): error C3867: 'default::int32::ToString': function call missing argument list; use '&default::int32::ToString' to create a pointer to member
1>c:\users\sstokes\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\integertostringconversion\mainpage.xaml.cpp(48): error C2679: binary '+' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'Platform::String ^(__cdecl default::int32::* )(void)' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
1> could be 'built-in C++ operator+(volatile const Platform::Object ^, volatile const Platform::String ^)'
1> or 'built-in C++ operator+(volatile const Platform::String ^, volatile const Platform::Object ^)'
1> or 'built-in C++ operator+(volatile const Platform::String ^, volatile const Platform::String ^)'
1> while trying to match the argument list '(Platform::String ^, Platform::String ^(__cdecl default::int32::* )(void))'
Reading the documentation
The Windows 8 Samples do not clearly call out how to work with the XAML Textboxes, TextBlocks and similar as this is considered pretty low level. Hence the reason I am writing about it. But the documentation generally online in any form on any site for this subject is written by knowledgable C++ programmers and there is a great deal of information to get out there about the C++/CX. So the writers assume that you have worked with XAML and C++ or that you can figure out easily how to work with XAML and C++ in that you have been working with something other then console apps or supplying DLL types of classes to C#, etc. Of course, the XAML and C++ is very similar to C#, but it is tricky.
For example the illustration given here is quite simple, but why a period with the "ToString" and the "->" operator with the Text property on the textblock and text box? What is the difference?
integer8.ToString is a postfix-expression represents a value of struct, class, or union type, and name names a member of the specified structure, union, or class. The value of the operation is that of name and is an l-value if postfix-expression is an l-value.
txtTextBox->Text is a postfix-expression represents a pointer to a structure, union, or class, and name names a member of the specified structure, union, or class. The value is that of name and is an l-value. The –> operator dereferences the pointer. Therefore, the expressions e–>member and (*e).member (where e represents a pointer) yield identical results (except when the operators –> or * are overloaded).

Get an Inside Tip from the 'Margin Call' Poster
The financial meltdown is the kind of thing no one entirely understands, but everyone is quite up in arms about. So, that's probably how Margin Call will be, too. The trailer is definitely gripping, but there are times when you'll wonder exactly what is going on. Or maybe that's just me.
Humble but ambitious young go-getter Zachary Quinto, working at a very, very large corporation, inherits a zip drive from a recently fired coworker (a disgruntled Stanley Tucci). The contents of this file, while… not completely comprehensible… seem to be able to take down the entire company. Now, movies have conditioned me to understand that big business is bad. So, in that vein, Quinto and his associates in the actions to come (a woolen Kevin Spacey, for one) must be the good guys. Right?
Here's the thing… it seems as though the movie is suggesting that they're responsible for an imminent economic collapse. So… bad guys? It's hard to tell. But I can be sure that Jeremy Irons, a corporate bigwig, is evil. How do I know this? Three words: voice of Scar.

Introducing... This Week's EDM Superlatives
Welcome to a brand new edition called "EDM Superlatives," where each week we will crown dance music fans, artists and other industry professionals or public figures for recent noteworthy achievements (or embarrassing moments).
Most likely to show up high to Christmas dinner, but only after volunteering at the soup kitchen...
Detroit-based future funk producer and saxophonist GRiZ just announced his 12 Days of Grizmas: Raising Money for Little Kids Rock. GRiZ will be inviting fans to join him for 12 days of philanthropic events around Detroit, from delivering food to the homeless to visiting dog shelters. The fundraiser, which starts on December 8th, will raise money for Little Kids Rock, a non-profit that provides free music education to underprivileged children around the U.S, and will lead up to his sold-out GRiZMAS showcase at the Masonic Temple December 19th. Learn more at mynameisgriz.com.
Most likely to show you up on the dance floor...
Lexy Panterra
Dancer, choreographer, singer, and songwriter continues to break the internet with each jaw-dropping "twerk freestyle." This week, the talented twerker released a new dance video set to "Booty Bounce Pop" by The Ying Yang Twins, Mr. Collipark, Atom Pushers, and DJ Wavy, and It already has over 1.6 million plays!
Most likely to play every instrument in your house...
Pierce Fulton
"[He] made [another] thing!" LA-based producer Pierce Fulton just released another epic studio session. The multi-instrumentalist and producer just dropped another single called, "No More," complete with a live routine where he plays not 1, not 2, not 3 but 5 instruments! The studio video captures the musical wizard in his element as he jams on keys, guitar, drum pad, finger pad and sampler.
Most likely to pretend he likes EDM for votes...
Marco Rubio
The 44-year old junior U.S. Senator from Florida and republican presidential hopeful tried to score cool points with the younger demographic in an exclusive interview with CNN, during which a reporter asked him what his favorite music is. He oh-so-smoothly mentioned how he grew up listening to R&B and hip hop and now finds EDM "real genius," particularly "Tiësto and others out there... these DJs."
Most likely to drop a new mix with a Skrillex, Excision, Flosstradamus and Ghastly track...
Snails announced his biggest tour yet: Enter Slugz City. For his 2016 tour, the Montréal producer and creator of "vomitstep" will be bringing huge guests and special productions to 10 cities across the U.S. To celebrate, he dropped a massive mix, and we think you'll like the friends he teamed up with for his SNAILEDIT! Mix Vol 3.

Trachinian Women, Greek Trachiniai, drama of domestic tragedy by Sophocles, performed sometime after 458 bce. The play centres on the efforts of Deianeira to win back the wandering affections of her husband, Heracles, who—although he is away on one of his heroic missions—has sent back his latest concubine, Iole, to live with his wife at their home in Trachis. Deianeira uses a love charm on Heracles, learning too late that it is poisonous, and she kills herself when she learns of the agony she has caused her husband.

See our new video about SEF
A letter from the SEF President
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the new school year! You may be aware that Saratoga Schools are among the top schools in the country when ranked by educational quality, commitment to character building, and community awareness. Saratoga is also consistently ranked among America's most educated cities. These achievements depend crucially on each of us making a contribution to the schools.
Laws regarding public education funding are different in California from those in other states and countries. Local property taxes do not provide a level of funding our community has found desirable to staff the high quality well-rounded educational programs we want for our children. Saratoga Education Foundation is the major agent of fund-raising in our district to keep our schools and community strong. The idea for such a foundation is based on a model used by all top school districts in the Bay Area. Since 1983 we have raised money for science aides, librarians, art, music, and physical education teachers. We are continuously evaluating our programs to optimize how we can enrich our children's education.
In the last academic year, SEF was able to award its main grant of $795,025 to the four SUSD schools. In addition, SEF also gave a special grant of $56K to the schools to address some urgent needs identified in our last survey among parents and teachers. Partly in reaction to the survey but also in response to educational trends, SEF has been in discussion with SUSD about bringing the use of its grants more into alignment with new educational initiatives such as STEAM and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) while improving the provision of high standard art, music and PE programs.
Now more than ever it is imperative we take a stand for the right of our children to get the most out of their educational experiences during their critical years of growth and development that will shape them for the rest of their lives.
We, the Saratoga Community, have the power to raise the bar for our children's future. SEF is 100% volunteer-run, energetic and passionate about the cause. But we can't do this without the vital continuing support of Saratoga's dedicated families.
So what's the missing piece? YOUR DONATION! You can donate by check using one of our envelopes (provided in the first day packets) and dropping off at your school office. Alternatively you can donate online here by clicking the donate button above or exploring our donate page.
More questions? Contact us at: email@example.com.

About SEF
Established since 1982, SEF has been an integral part of the success in raising the standards of the Saratoga Union School District (SUSD) making it one of the most desirable school districts in the US. SEF is a collective parental effort, entirely volunteer-run, independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization bringing excellence to our schools with smaller class sizes and enriched programs. Our appoach ensures that nearly 100% of your donations go directly to our students' school programs. We are most grateful to the Saratoga community including all of the principals, teachers, families and local small businesses whose support makes possible high quality educational programs for each of our students.
At the beginning of 2017 we distributed via the schools hard copies of our Outlook Annual Report for 2015-2016. You can download a copy here.
Direct donations from parents like you make up the vast majority of SEF funding. Tax-deductible donations benefit every child in our school district. We also receive donations from local businesses and community members. Please get to know what we do and help us continue to help our kids through the education programs we provide for every child during the school day. If you sent your child to private schools in the area, for K-8 kids the costs are typically over $26k per annum. We ask for a tiny fraction of this sum ($1000 per student) to provide programs that are educationally enriching and highly competitive. In order to fund our programs, we need all parents to make a contribution.

A. Yes. The same rules that apply to gambling at other venues—racetracks and casinos—generally apply to online gambling, even if it originates outside the country.
Your son should report his winnings, but he can use any gambling losses to offset the winnings. Losses must be written off as itemized deductions on Schedule A, so he can't use the standard deduction.
How can you verify online poker wins and losses? You can use financial records from a bank, credit card or Web-based cash account (e.g., NETeller) that shows transactions to and from the poker site. Note: Tax rules take into account all winnings and losses during the year. Example: Your son may have won $25,000 at online poker but suffered documented gambling losses of $30,000 from a Las Vegas junket. That loss completely wipes out any tax that would've been due on his winnings.

Lineup for Merola Productions
It is now time for the public-performance phase of the Merola Opera Program, now celebrating its 60th birthday. The famous institute provides the opportunity for young artists to strut their stuff in staged productions following the 12-week-long program of coaching, workshops, master classes, and other activities.
Between July 6 and August 19, Merolini perform in two Schwabacher Summer Concerts (one at Stanford for the first time); staged performances of four operas, and the grand finale. In addition to these public programs, attendance at Merola activities is also available to supporting members of the program.
An example of what the Merola program means to participants is Ashley Dixon's preparation to sing the role of Popova in William Walton's The Bear. The mezzo from Georgia was first selected in 2015 and returns to the program after a year off. Based on a play by Chekhov, The Bear portrays Popova as a young, romantic woman, determined to remain faithful to her unfaithful husband who died seven months before. Dixon says the role was a musical-theatrical challenge:
I was very nervous to prepare this role. The character and the singing was so different than anything I had ever done. Popova is a tour de force. She wants you to believe she is a mourning widow but the story reveals that her tears may not always come from the heart. Through the learning process (and many phone calls with my voice teacher) I realized this role let me be the most free with my acting and singing. I have become a different singer-actor because of it.
The conductor Chris Ocasek worked with me to create tempos that were comfortable for me to take the time I needed to set up all of my singing. Also the director Peter Kazaras gave me such wonderful staging that made the singing have direction. The whole process has been truly amazing.
One of the scariest things about this role is the vocal range. One minute I'm singing above the staff and the next below. I was having trouble figuring it out on my own. With the help, I got to a place where I now love the fact that Popova's singing is all over place because it makes her who she is.
These are the public performances:
Schwabacher Summer Concerts, July 6 in the Conservatory Concert Hall; July 9 in Bing Concert Hall, Stanford: conducted by Anne Manson, directed by David Lefkowich. Staged scenes from Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana, Moore's Ballad of Baby Doe, Massenet's Thaïs, von Weber's Der Freischütz, Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia, and Weill's Street Scene, accompanied by full orchestra, with English supertitles.
Triple bill on July 20 and 22, in the Conservatory Concert Hall, conducted by Christopher Ocasek and directed by Peter Kazaras: Pergolesi's La serva padrona (with Jana McIntyre and Daniel Noyola); Holst's Savitri (with Addison Marlor, Kelsea Webb, and David Weigel); and Walton's The Bear (with Ashley Dixon, Daniel Noyola, and Cody Quattlebaum).
Rossini's La Cenerentola, Aug. 3 and 5, in the Conservatory Concert Hall, conducted by Mark Morash, directed by Chuck Hudson; with Samantha Hankey, Anthony Ciaramitaro, Natalie Image, Edith Grossman, Andrew Hiers, Christian Pursell, and Szymon Wach.
Merola Grand Finale, Aug. 19, in the War Memorial Opera House; staged opera scenes with all Merolini participating.
More details at the Merola Public Performances website.
Opera Medal to the Head of Wardrobe
In the Shadow of the Stars is not only a great film about the S.F. Opera Chorus, it's also where the action is in companies, where meeting the manifold challenges of producing opera requires so much more than just big-name singers. San Francisco Opera is a shining example of an organization where this is recognized and celebrated.
The company's top award, the San Francisco Opera Medal, last year went to Jim Meyer, chorus and dance manager. In years past, in addition to awards handed to star singers, the Medal has also been awarded to conductors Donald Runnicles and Sir Charles Mackerras, directors John Copley and Francesca Zambello, and Chorus Director Ian Robertson, among others.
Last week, at the conclusion of the final performance of Verdi's Rigoletto, S.F. Opera General Director Matthew Shilvock presented the Medal to Geoffry M. Craig, head of wardrobe, who oversees dressing hundreds of soloists, chorus members, and supernumeraries each season.
Craig joined the wardrobe department staff in 1981 as a dresser, became head of men's wardrobe in 1986 and assumed his current position of department head in 1999. After 36 years of service, Craig will retire from San Francisco Opera at the end of the 2017 summer season.
Shilvock said, "In over three decades of exemplary service, Geoffry has led the wardrobe department with great professionalism, heart, and care. His exacting rigor and compassionate understanding have been critical in allowing us to present some of the finest performances in the world, night after night, on the War Memorial stage."
Craig described his work as being "all about the details — we check every garment, every closure, every hem, every time. That's the job." His staff includes four assistants and between 19 and 35 dressers, depending on the size of the production.
A native of Indiana, Craig earned early experience dressing performers at the Pasadena Playhouse. In 1981, a friend who knew about Craig's theatrical experience asked if he would like to work on San Francisco Opera's ambitious new production of Verdi's Aida with Margaret Price in the title role and Luciano Pavarotti as Radames. Craig agreed, but a cancellation backstage led to him making his "debut" a month earlier than expected. He filled in to dress some of the supporting roles in the S.F. Opera premiere of Franz Lehár's The Merry Widow starring Joan Sutherland.
When asked if there were any productions during his 36-year tenure that tested the limits of his foolproof organizational system, Craig did not hesitate: Prokofiev's War and Peace in 1991. "There were 135 supernumerary men in the show — the Russian and French armies! We had to dress them at Zellerbach rehearsal space and then march them in formation to the opera house and out onto the stage." For Arrigo Boito's Mefistofele in 2013, Craig supervised a "quick change" of 150 cast members from the prologue to the carnival scene of Act I.
A Tale of Two Audiences
It was the best of Wednesdays, it was the worst of Saturdays.
In Davies Hall, at the superb Michael Tilson Thomas/San Francisco Symphony season-ending performances of Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet, the audience was well behaved on Wednesday, awful on Saturday. Noisy, inattentive, phone screens on during the concert (no attempt to hide them), smattering of applause in every break, a mini-mass exodus after an hour. It was as bad as the response to Mahler was a decade ago.
It was all a sorry contrast with Wednesday, the final Series A concert, when the last of elite audiences lived up to their reputation. I don't mean to usurp Charlise Tiee's Operatattler territory, nor am I a concert snob — I was the first to shout in mid-Wagner in the War Memorial for Leonie Rysanek's"Entweihte Götter!" — but Saturday night was just too much. I hope you're reading this, Box-D commentator on everything, mid-music.
From MTT's body language, I guess the commotion reached to the stage, but to his credit, concentration and performance were undiminished.
Of the many responses to my carping about the audience misbehavior, the most memorable reminiscence came from singer-teacher Alexandra Ivanoff, who wrote:
I have a vivid memory of attending a SFS performance (sitting in a sparsely attended balcony area) of Debussy's Daphnis and Chloé. A guy behind me was munching on a bag of shelled nuts throughout the piece. In between the chewing he would burp and sigh audibly while he threw the shells on the floor
At the intermission, I rose and verbally excoriated him so much the ushers rushed over to see what the ruckus was. He had no answer for his behavior, and he thus left immediately. I was steaming mad, and glad I had taken action.
Maybe things are getting better ...
Vinyl Triumphant
I might have been just a tiny bit ahead of time when I greeted the return of vinyl records two years ago. The trend is full-blown now, and the reasons for this retro-innovation are as true now as they were then:
"The vinyl boom," according to an article in The New York Times, "has come as streaming has taken off as a listening format and both CDs and downloads have declined. The reasons cited are usually a fuller, warmer sound from vinyl's analog grooves and the tactile power of a well-made record at a time when music has become ephemeral."
Now it's mid-2017, and besides burgeoning sales, SONY joins the parade in a big way: after a 28-year hiatus, the company will start pressing records again. The scale has diminished — back in the 1970s, Japan produced 200 million records each year. Today, worldwide purchase of records is expected to hit 20 million by the end of 2017, according to Fortune magazine.
Still, Deloitte, the global consulting firm, predicts that global revenue for vinyl records and related accessories (turntables, etc.) will reach $1 billion this year.
In the U.S., boutique outlets such as Jack White's Third Man Pressing in Detroit, SunPress Vinyl in Miami, and vinyl-only labels like Warner Music's Run Out Groove and U.K.-based Omertà have emerged. But withal, Fortune says: "The format will likely remain niche, albeit high-margin. Vinyl is back, but only as a collectible. The rest of us, meanwhile, will keep on streaming."

What are the difference between in-stream procedure and inline procedure in JCL ?
An in-stream PROC is defined right in the jcl stream and doesn't reside in the proclib. This is an older technique associated with punched cards but it is still in use with setup and installation programs from vendors.
for the in-line perform instead of:
perform add-paragraph until switch = 'y'
you can code
perform until switch = 'y'
body of code
body of code is the code from add-paragraph appearing in-line (ie right in the perform) instead of in a separate paragraph (out of line code)
How will you call the return code of JCL ?
Return Code in JCL can b obtained by the use of COND paramater...it is used to know the return codes of previous steps.
What are SD37, SB37, SE37 abends?
All indicate dataset out of space. SD37 - no secondary allocation was specified. SB37 - end of vol. and no further volumes specified. SE37 - Max. of 16 extents already allocated.
What is the use of SYSPRINT, SYSIN, DUMMY in JCL ?
SYSPRINT: All system output will appear under this DD card. Suppose you are copying a VSAM file using IDCAMS. Then, number of records processed, highest condition code etc.. will appear under sysprint. You cannot customise SYSPRINT output.
SYSIN: This is nothing but SYStem INstruction. Suppose, you want to sort a file on certain key. You have to have following command under SYSIN.
SORT FIELDS = (starting-col,length,data-type,A/D)
DUMMY: Mainly used where user is intended to simulate a program without creating an output file.
