I loved him in the Godfather and kind of remember do the right thing.
No More Stolen Sisters.
RIP, nice actor: sadly the thing I remember him most
is from Madonna's Papa don't preach video back in the 1980's.
Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
Seems like he was a sweetheart. Married for 64 years!
Googled him and realized he gives me a strong Mandy Patinkin vibe.
I got a kick out of his work in Harlem Nights. R.I.P.
"Never cut what you can untie"
-Joseph Joubert
Loved him in Ruby, even though the film was not historically accurate he was excellent. As he always was. RIP Danny.
To really know people is to be able to read between the lines on their faces.
He appeared in a number of Woody Allen films. Solid actor.

Do you have a vice you are embarrassed about? Do you have goals you are afraid to speak out loud ? Are you in a relationship you like, but that may not be taking you where you want to go? Are you unsure of where you want to go?
Well, that is where I'm at today. I have a vice I'm ashamed to speak of and goals I will not mention for two reasons1. I'm embarrassed and 2. It could alter current relationships and my career.
So what do I do? Am I fulfilled in my life? No. So it must be time to move forward. I do not know how to do that, but I'm going to start writing down a plan and share it with someone. Living an unfulfilled life is not for me.
Do you face challenges like these in your life? Are you going to do anything about the challenges?

Lafayette, Ind.– Deeja Moran's buddies would not have acknowledged her the early morning of Aug. 29 when she appeared at the healthcare facility beaten, bruised and with 8 damaged bones in her face.
Those who saw her that early morning would not acknowledge her today.
She is the face of domestic battery, and her story appears more poignant this month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
While she's still recuperating from hours of poundings, her implicated assailant– and now previous sweetheart– Jose Edgardo Santiago-Vazquez deals with charges, but he is on the run.
Gone are Moran's shiners, among which was pounded into her skull, breaking the bones so terribly that she now has a metal plate under her eye after cosmetic surgery. Her inflamed, black and blue mouth and chin have gone back to regular– or so it appears.
Other than for an inflamed bag under her best eye, there's absolutely nothing overtly to suggest the night-long whipping she states Santiago-Vazquez caused on her.
Stating her story for the Journal & Courier, she reveals grit and decision to recover her life and bring her enemy to justice.
" He stated what made me quite was my eyes and my smile, so he was going to make certain I would never ever have that once again," Moran stated as she explained Santiago-Vazquez's attack that began when she returned from a bike flight on Aug. 28.
" That's precisely what he did," she stated.
" Because of what he did, every early morning I get up and search in the mirror and I do not acknowledge myself," she stated. "I see a female who was beaten.
" I lost my identity. Your face is your identity.".
That's one of the results of domestic battery. It takes the victim's identity– either or figuratively. It robs the victims of their self-confidence, she stated.
Moran ended her relationship with Santiago-Vazquez when she moved from California to Lafayette previously this year. It had not been a long-lasting relationship.
She saw what she called warnings– flashes of anger– and called it gives up, and moving here appeared like the rational end before she felt his anger. She was moving to the Midwest to start a brand-new chapter in life.
After she settled here, Santiago-Vazquez's texts and phone calls began.
" Jose's a really sweet male. He's extremely kind," she started explaining the male she succumbed to. "He's simply an extremely sweet mindful person.
" Then suddenly, … there's an entirely different person," she stated.
That different person manifested himself with rage and fury when Moran, a self-confessed fitness lover, returned from her night bike trek on Aug. 28.
She stated she calmly asked Santiago-Vazquez to leave, but he blew up. This touched off hours of poundings inside a home on the east side of Lafayette, which she showed the owner, she stated.
The owner, who was away going to the family when Moran was assaulted, didn't have an issue with Santiago-Vazquez remaining there with Moran up until he might get on his feet, Moran stated.
" She got home that day," Moran stated of the house owner who strolled into 2 spaces covered in blood. "She strolled into a dreadful scene. It's been extremely, really hard on her.".
Moran remembered that those hours late Aug. 28 and early Aug. 29 were dreadful, and pressed her to the point of quitting. A possible cause affidavit with the criminal charges informs the dry truths of her claims, but not the psychological chaos that Moran withstands even today.
" My life altered," she stated, keeping in mind that Santiago-Vazquez barricaded the back entrance with chairs and the front door with a desk.
" There's no chance out," she stated. "And he simply kept getting increasingly madder.
" He 'd ask me concerns. He 'd say, 'Wrong response!' And beat me once again.".
When she 'd get too bloody, he 'd make her shower, and after that start the poundings once again, she stated.
" At the end, he stated, 'It's gone too far. I'm going to need to eliminate you now,'" she stated. "To be genuinely sincere, I was ready for him to eliminate me.
" I simply desired him to do it because I was so exhausted. I was so tired.".
Santiago-Vazquez knelt over Moran, who was resting on the flooring. He raised a knife over his head, shouted a war cry as he owned the knife to Moran. He stabbed the pillow next to her face rather.
The whippings continued.
In some way, she convinced him to take her to the healthcare facility. He made her shower, then owned her to the IU Arnett Health Hospital.
Positive in the story about how Moran got beaten and why his knuckles were divided open, Santiago-Vazquez went inside the healthcare facility with her.
" His story was going to be that some people had actually attacked me in the street. His story was he beat off all the foes … and (he 'd) be the hero.".
He didn't remain long.
" As quickly as everyone was around me (in the emergency clinic), they stated … 'Who did this to you?'.
" As quickly as they stated that, … I resembled, 'He did.'".
Security accompanied Santiago-Vazquez from the space, but he handled to provide security the slip.
He hasn't been seen since.
He's from Perris, California, Moran stated, so there's a job out there for him and a lot of people who will safeguard him. He has family in Chicago and Florida, and he's from Puerto Rico, where he has a family, too, she included when inquired about where he may be.
Santiago-Vazquez called Moran on Sept. 17.
" He simply needed to know if I lived," she stated. "It's the common batterer syndrome. 'I'm sorry. Please. I love you. Blah, blah, blah.' None of that means anything to me.".
Moran's putting her life back together, and she shares her story to motivate others who are victims of domestic abuse to obtain far from their abusers before it's far too late.
" Lafayette has a lot of assistance," she stated of the help for victims of domestic battery.
" This is the most affordable part of my life," she stated, "and I never ever wish to be here once again.
" I need to change aspects of myself," she stated. "I clearly draw in these types of people. I've been stabbed by a guy, too.".
She speaks extremely of the area's domestic violence shelters, the cops and the district attorney's workplace.
" If he's still around since I'm his ownership, then I'm at risk," she stated.
" I do not want him to find me once again," she said. "That's what's difficult is discovering a safe place to go.".
If he appears, there are 9 arrest warrants with his name on them.
She offered images of Santiago-Vazquez, asking if anybody– here, in Chicago, California, Florida or Puerto Rico– sees him, report him to the cops.
She discovered after he assaulted her, that Santiago-Vazquez is not the person he pretends to be, which is why she desires her story released.
" I do not want another lady hurt, and from what they inform me, he has domestic violence in his past.".


text: Alicia went through the McDonald's drive-thru on her way to work simply because her patient with cancer wanted it. If this is not going above and beyond the call of duty, then I don't know what is. Alicia carries this same mentality with her day-to-day and anyone at this hospital can attest to that. I remember specifically a patient of mine that was passing away with no family and Alicia stayed at the bedside with me holding his hand because she could not bear the thought of him dying alone. I see Alicia and her compassion and love for this job, and it inspires me to be a better nurse. She makes her patient's stay in this hospital better and I can speak from experience and say that she makes her coworkers' day better than it would have been without her. She is everything this award stands for. This organization is lucky to have her and I feel even luckier to call her a coworker.

Summer of 68: Prague, Chicago, Paris… Moruroa
Territorial Assembly Feared a Mysterious Evacuation of the 46 Inhabitants of Tureia, but Tureia was on vacation in Tahiti. The assembly also asked, not as a joke, if the total destruction of Fangataufa was part of the plan.
It has been fifty years since the famous "summer of 68" when street protests and strikes led many to wonder if a revolution was about to topple the post-WWII order. As Hunter S. Thompson perceived so well a few years later, we were never even close. In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas he wrote, "So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." The fatal flaw of the revolutionaries was that they never understood the fallacy in their thinking: "the desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."[i]
A sign that things were proceeding without disruption in 1968 could have been found in a remote corner of the world, far from the chaos on the streets of Chicago, Prague and Paris. In spite of the late recognition in the early 1960s, by the United States and the USSR, that it was madness to continue atmospheric testing of thermonuclear weapons, France proceeded to test its own weapons in the air over French Polynesia until 1974, and continued with underground tests until 1996. On August 24, 1968, the first French thermonuclear device, Canopus, exploded with a 2.6 megaton yield. For contrast, consider the US Castle Bravo test of 1954 which yielded 15 megatons, 9 more megatons than its expected yield.
I've covered this chapter of world history in other blog posts, and I add to it here with a witness testimony given in Hiroshima in 2002. I believe it must have been translated into Japanese at the time, but this may be the first English translation of the short speech delivered by Étienne Tehumu, an inhabitant Tureia, the atoll closest to Moruroa and Fangataufa where the tests took place.
Tureia: In the span of three years, seven people died of cancer [ii]
|Tureia Atoll
Étienne Tehumu, Hiroshima, August 5, 2002
I would like to first thank the group Gensuikin [Japan Congress Against A- and H-Bombs] for inviting us to this conference. I have come here to represent the atoll of Tureia, a small island 100 kilometers from Moruroa.
My name is Étienne Tehumu. I am a thirty-five year old native of Tureia, where I have always lived. I was born one year after the first nuclear tests and I lived on Tureia during the entire thirty years of the nuclear tests (1966-1996). I am married and we have had seven children. My younger brother was stillborn and deformed. Our fourth child was born with a heart murmur and a hole in her heart. I come from a large family of eight children.
My father, Tehumu Tane, was employed by the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA). His job consisted of taking photos of mushroom clouds of atmospheric atomic explosions—from Tureia. He had a partner in this task. They were stationed in towers, and at the time of an explosion they had to take photos at different stages of the radioactive cloud's growth, until it had risen quite high and spread quite far. They then received orders from CEA officers to rapidly leave the post and get over to the village on the other side of the lagoon, about fifteen kilometers distant. Later, my father fell ill. He had a lung disease which later turned into cancer. My father died last year on July 19th, 2001, in Papeete. We brought his body home to be buried on Tureia. My aunt, my father's sister, has breast cancer.
I would like to tell you that within three years, 1999-2001, seven people like my father died of lung cancer. For a small population of 100 people, seven people dying in a short period from the same disease is something that raises a lot of questions. Why? All of these people worked without protective clothing and glasses. The rest of the people on the island watched the radioactive clouds with glasses but no other protection.
The Center for Experimentation in Polynesia (CEP) built on our island an atomic shelter where everyone had to stay on average for about three days during each atmospheric nuclear test.
I remember when I was a child the army would give us chocolates and candies. When we came out of the shelter after three days, the army distributed rainwater from cisterns. Was it safe to drink? I wonder. After each test, each inhabitant received 1,500 francs pacifiques (about 12 euros) and jugs of wine. We were paid after each atmospheric bomb test. Why?
I witnessed helicopters flying over my island, gathering particle samples from the radioactive clouds. I saw yellow clouds passing over the lagoon of my island. I also witnessed dumping on the reef of toxic chemicals from the weather balloons that were employed during the bomb tests. This made the fish toxic and inedible.
Today we want to know what arrangements have been made by the French authorities for the people of Tureia in case of the collapse of the Moruroa atoll and subsequent release of radioactive substances. Have we been told the truth about the consequences of nuclear testing on our people? Can they tell us why we have these diseases? We are concerned about the health of our children and our families.
We demand that our people receive a thorough medical investigation and that proper radio-biological testing be done on the people who were most exposed to radiation.
We demand compensation for all the damage done to our island by the CEP, for all harm inflicted on us.
We are aware today, thanks to the organization Moruroa e Tatou, that the health effects we suffer from today are to a large part due to the French nuclear tests.
We have asked (and many times demanded) that the military authorities come and dismantle the two atomic shelters, veritable eyesores on our land, which, I might add, for some reason are not listed as anyone's property in the government land registry (cadaster). We want to remember that Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls are officially part of our Tureia district, and for this reason the French authorities are obliged to restore those islands, so damaged as they are after thirty years of nuclear tests there.
Friends in Japan, we need your support and solidarity, you who suffered the American atomic bombings here in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You were, and continue to be, the first victims of the atomic era. We are leading the same fight—to shine a light on the consequences of nuclear testing, on the health effects from them, and on the compensation that is owed. This is what I came here to say for the people of Tureia, the people who, being the ones closest to the birthplace of the French weapon of destruction, were its first victims.
Never again on our homeland. Thank you for listening to me today.
Vacations, Evacuations and Voter Abstention in the High-Yield Nuclear Tests in the Summer of 1968: Headline from the leading daily newspaper of Tahiti, Les Nouvelles, July 12, 1968:
Territorial Assembly Feared a Mysterious Evacuation of the 46 Inhabitants of Tureia, but Tureia was on vacation in Tahiti. The assembly also asked, not as a joke, if the total destruction of Fangataufa was part of the plan.
During the series of tests in 1968 described as strong yield, military authorities removed the population of Tureia (46 inhabitants). This displacement would have gone unnoticed if national elections had not been scheduled for this time. The ballot box from Tureia came back empty, and in Tahiti journalists were surprised to discover this complete lack of voter participation on Tureia. They discovered that the entire population of the atoll was in Tahiti on a military base. The governor of the time claimed to have invited everyone from Tureia to participate in the traditional July holidays [Bastille Day, July 14, etc.] in Papeete.

It's finally here! After months of teasers and impressive (camouflaged) public displays, Porsche have now officially shown us their first all-electric car, the Porsche Taycan. Unveiled via a livestream event at 14:00 today, the final product is every bit as impressive as you expected it to be.
During the livestream - that was filmed in three environmentally significant locations simultaneously - Oliver Blume, Porsche's Chairman of the Executive Board, noted how the company is now built upon three different pillars - combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and electric cars. Promising to continue producing efficient combustion engine cars like the 911, Blume talked about every car that the brand creates always having a soul and reassured us that, despite its electric powertrain, the Taycan is no exception. Blume also explained how production of their cars is forever becoming greener, with some factories now producing cars whilst remaining carbon neutral.
The reveal is the first time that we've seen the Porsche Taycan without camouflage and it definitely doesn't disappoint. Following in the footsteps of Porsche's Mission e, this stunning saloon sits somewhere between the 911 and Panamera when it comes to size and shape. Whilst we all had a good idea of how the Taycan would look (thanks to some barely camo'd prototypes), the new details that are no longer hidden by obscure stickers certainly cement this as a stunning car. In our opinion, at least.
Now, performance. Power comes from two magnet synchronous motors and a 93kWh performance battery. The result is a total of 761PS and 1,050nm of torque that's fed to all-four wheels and produces a 0-62mph sprint of 2.8 seconds and a blistering 0-124mph sprint time of 9.8 seconds. Unlike many other electric performance cars, the Porsche Taycan has proven that it can complete these sprints (using launch control) time-and-time again without detriment to the battery or motors and without any real change in performance. That's impressive.
Porsche say that a full charge will get you a range of almost 300 miles and that technologies such as clever brake regeneration and a two-speed gearbox (which allows for maximum power when required but also maximum efficiency when cruising) help to achieve and extend this range in the real world.
Speaking of range, one of the Porsche Taycan's party pieces has to be its 800V architecture – a world first in a production electric car, it unlocks the option of ultra-fast charging for the first time. Thanks to this, Taycan is capable of charging from zero to 80 per cent charge in as little as 15 minutes and, for times when charge is needed quickly, can gain an additional 60 miles in range in as little as five minutes (when using a 250kW charging station).
We mentioned Taycan's brake regeneration system earlier but feel the need to touch on it properly. Capable of regenerating up to 265kW of charging power back to the battery, the system has been perfectly calibrated for both performance and efficiency. In fact, the system is so good that some initial reviews noted that traditional braking is seldom ever needed when cruising at low speeds; Porsche know this, that's why they've coated the standard steel brakes (that support the regeneration system) in a special tungsten that prevents them rusting through lack of use.
As with most initial launches, we can't say much about how it'll be to drive (prototype tests from sources such as Fully Charged and Top Gear say it's very good) but a recent Nürburgring record of 7minutes 42seconds and a very successful 24-hour none stop test drive – where it covered over 2,000 miles, stopping only for quick charges or driver changes – mean that we can't help but get excited.
We're sure you'll agree that the Porsche Taycan is going to be something very special and we can't wait to get some time with a physical version at one of our dealerships. If you'd like to learn more about the Porsche Taycan or you'd like to enquire, please contact your nearest Porsche Centre by following one of the links below.

Across the world, there is a massive array of specialist degrees you can do if you wish to further your knowledge of Human Rights. Some undergraduate degrees may contain modules in Human Rights, but the vast majority of such courses are postgraduate. And although these are often offered in English, for any Spanish speaking readers we have gathered five courses specialising in Human Rights from highly ranked universities which are taught in Spanish. In the field of human rights, speaking more than two languages is a major advantage. Not only would one of these degrees enable you to work in national human rights organisations in Spanish-speaking countries or regional organisations such as the Inter-American human rights system, but Spanish is also one of the UN languages, and as such may be a requirement for many jobs. Plus, even if it isn't a requirement, fluency in a second language may put you above other candidates who don't have such a skill. Thus, studying one of these degrees could be extremely beneficial for your future!
University of Valencia, Spain: Master's in Human Rights, Peace and Sustainable Development
(Máster Universitario en Derechos Humanos, Paz y Desarrollo Sostenible)
This Master's degree covers a detailed analysis of the most significant aspects of human rights, with a focus on the issues of peace and non-violence, and human sustainable development.

It could be really difficult to find time to spend with your child. However, it is quite important. Spending quality time with your children does not only mean to make your bond strong with them but also let you know about the health status of your children. Every parent should ensure that their children's development is going on properly. Development of early childhood [พัฒนาการ ของ เด็ก ปฐมวัย, which is the term in Thai] is something that should not be taken for granted. You should also consider getting a development assessment session for your children. This will ensure that your child remains healthy and away from any kind of disease that could affect him physically or mentally. If there is any abnormality present in your child and you come to know it early then this will make it easier for the physician to treat it.
Some of the benefits of an assessment session:
There are a lot of benefits that a childhood development assessment session could provide you. This session lets you know about the development of your kid in various areas. Such a session helps the doctors to know if any kid needs some extra care or supervision. There are many parents out there who have no idea about what development assessment is. Sometimes not considering an assessment makes their children to pay on the cost of their health.
Pay attention today so they can have a better future tomorrow:
Every single parent wants to ensure that their children live a good life. However, in order to be sure of this there are several things that parents should consider while their child is growing up. Apart from Early childhood development [พัฒนาการ เด็ก ปฐมวัย, which is the term in Thai], parents should also focus on all round development of their children. They should introduce them to various fields so their children can pick whatever they find interesting and relaxing. This ensures the better development of the brain and body.

Wen C. Fong, a renowned scholar who helped the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York build one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Asian art, died on Oct. 3 in Princeton, N.J. He was 88.
His wife, Constance Tang Fong, said the cause was leukemia.
A leading figure in the history of Chinese art, Professor Fong taught for 40 years at Princeton University, where in the 1950s he established the nation's first doctoral degree program in Chinese art and archaeology.
Beginning in the early 1970s he was a driving force behind the Met's ambitious effort to expand its collection of Asian art, including masterworks from China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and India, and add space in which to display it.
He counseled art collectors and philanthropists like Brooke Astor and Arthur M. Sackler, and persuaded the Met's director at the time, Thomas Hoving, and the president of its board of trustees, the financier C. Douglas Dillon, to acquire a trove of ancient and modern art works from leading American collectors of Asian art, including C. C. Wang and John M. Crawford Jr.
Those efforts brought to the Met an enviable collection of Asian art — hanging scrolls, ancient bronzes, silk tapestries, Chinese paintings dating to the eighth century and more.
An immigrant who came to the United States at age 18, on the eve of the Communist takeover in China, Professor Fong earned a Ph.D at Princeton and then gained a reputation for being an empire builder, first at the Princeton University Art Museum and then at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
He educated and mentored a generation of Chinese art scholars, many of them now in posts at leading American universities and art museums. He curated some of the biggest exhibitions of Asian art at the Met, including "Splendors of Imperial China: Treasures from the National Palace Museum, Taipei" in 1996 and "The Great Bronze Age of China."
He also wrote, edited or contributed to more than a dozen books about Chinese art, including his seminal work, "Beyond Representation: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy 8th-14th Century," which was jointly published by the Met and Yale University Press.
Wen Fong was born in 1930 in Shanghai. His father owned a dry goods store. Wen took to art as a boy, even as chaos enveloped his city during the Japanese occupation in World War II and the civil war that brought the Communists to power.
Tutored at home, he was given a classical Chinese education, at one time by the well-known calligrapher and scholar Li Jian. By age 10 he was giving public exhibitions of his calligraphy.
Resisting his parents' wish that he study science, he decided to pursue his interest in art by leaving for the United States to study at Princeton. There he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in medieval European art history and a Ph.D in art history, with a focus on ancient China.
His doctoral work became the basis for his first book, "The Lohans and a Bridge to Heaven," a study of two Chinese scrolls hanging at the Freer Gallery in Washington that he identified as belonging to a famous Sung dynasty set of 100 depicting the Buddhist deities known as Lohans.
At Princeton, Professor Fong educated generations of students in connoisseurship, teaching them how to examine objects closely. To him, that meant not paging through old books and viewing slides or photographs but encountering the actual works of art, getting a feel for their texture, contours and brush strokes, and then contemplating their meaning and power.
"He'd unroll a scroll on a table and just sit there like a Zen master and say: 'The object is always right. You've got to see what it's trying to tell you,'" recalled Maxwell K. Hearn, who studied under Professor Fong at Princeton and is now chairman of the Asian art department at the Met.
Professor Fong and a colleague, Frederick W. Mote, set up the nation's first doctoral program in Chinese art and archaeology at Princeton in 1959.
To deepen his own appreciation of art, Professor Fong was a faculty curator at the Princeton University Art Museum in the 1960s, which he described as a "laboratory" for his study of ancient forms. He organized special exhibitions and helped the museum strengthen its holdings of photography and Asian art. Among its major acquisitions during that time was the John B. Elliott Collection of Chinese Calligraphy, widely considered one of the finest collections of ancient calligraphy outside of Asia.
Then, in 1971, on the eve of President Richard M. Nixon's opening to China, the Metropolitan Museum of Art asked Professor Fong to help revamp and upgrade its Asian art collection. At the time, the Met's Asian holdings were narrow and hardly notable, consisting mainly of jade, a few prized ceramics, and Buddhist sculptures and Japanese prints.
Over the next 30 years, as a special consultant to the Met, Professor Fong helped build one of the most comprehensive collections of Asian art and antiquities in the world.
A man of boundless energy, he hired new Asian specialists at the Met, including Mr. Hearn; he tutored the Met's board on landmark pieces from Chinese history that might be acquired; and he negotiated with collectors on loaning, donating or selling their works to the museum.
Rather than pursue one piece at a time, Professor Fong often sought to acquire large portions or even entire holdings from a collector. At his urging, for instance, in 1973 the Met acquired 25 Chinese paintings dating from the 11th to 14th centuries from Mr. Wang, a New York collector. It also obtained the 421 works in the Harry C. Packard Collection of Japanese Art, which included some of the finest in the United States; the John M. Crawford Jr. Collection of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy; and 19th- and 20th-century Chinese paintings from the Robert H. Ellsworth Collection.
Among the most notable pieces now at the Met are "Riverbank," a colossal Southern Tang dynasty scroll attributed to the 10th-century painter Dong Yuan, and "Summer Mountains," a Song dynasty landscape painting. Some scholars questioned the authenticity of "Riverbank," but Professor Fong insisted that it was the real thing, a masterpiece of Chinese painting.
Many of the purchases were financed by the Met or the Dillon Fund, a foundation set up by Mr. Dillon, a Wall Street financier and longtime museum trustee and benefactor who was Treasury secretary under President John F. Kennedy.
In 1979, Professor Fong traveled to China with Ms. Astor, another trustee, to conduct research for a new project. Along with Mr. Hearn, Professor Fong had conceived the idea of creating an indoor version of a Chinese scholar's garden at the Met. It was built with the help of Ms. Astor's money and is now the Astor Chinese Garden Court.
By the time Professor Fong retired from the Met, in 2000, his imprint was on everything from conservation and the planning of exhibitions, to the more than 50 permanent galleries that are now devoted to displaying Asian art.
In addition to his wife, Professor Fong is survived by three children, Laurence, Peter and Serena; and two grandchildren.

One that is ever kind said yesterday:
'Your well-beloved's hair has threads of grey,
And little shadows come about her eyes;
Time can but make it easier to be wise
Though now it seems impossible, and so
All that you need is patience.'
Heart cries, 'No,
I have not a crumb of comfort, not a grain.
Time can but make her beauty over again:
Because of that great nobleness of hers
The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs,
Burns but more clearly. O she had not these ways
When all the wild summer was in her gaze.'
O heart! O heart! If she'd but turn her head,
You'd know the folly of being comforted.

In my experience, I find that the following three statements define a professional software engineer:
- Know the correct technology to build a software solution (build the thing right).
- Understand the correct business problem (build the right thing).
- Build the solution on budget and time.
In this post, I outline the first and essential part of software engineering: knowing your tools.

Disputes often arise where the terms of a Will are unclear or apparently "unfair".
Where the wording of a Will is unclear or ambiguous the problem is usually resolved by making an application to the High Court. We have years of experience in dealing with such cases and will always try to do so with the minimum cost, delay and anxiety.
In English law you can pretty much leave your property and assets to whoever you wish – unlike many continental systems where the greater part of the estate has to be left to blood relatives. This can lead to some parties [perhaps a child or a second wife or a co-habitee] feeling that they have been left out or treated unfairly. We will consider and analyse all the factors of the case and advise you of how we think a Court would deal with such matters. Where appropriate we will correspond and negotiate on your behalf with the executors and beneficiaries.
We also deal with the "Agatha Christie" type cases where there has been foul play and the Will has been forged or procured by undue influence. Even in the absence of foul play there can be issues as to the capacity of the person making the Will or the validity of the document itself.
The Court has a wide discretion to correct "unfairness" and this is often through the vehicle of the Inheritance Act 1975. Again we will bring our experience and instinct to bear on such questions and will provide you with clear and concise advice.
All these matters involve the possibility of an application to the Court. Part of our job is to guide you through the procedures and to give you a reliable estimate of the likely cost.
To book a no-obligation, confidential, free initial consultation, or find out more information about how we can help you please

CAPE TOWN – Spin bowling is all the rage at the moment and more specifically those of the wristy persuasion. Here we profile five spinners who could turn a few heads at the World Cup.
Kuldeep Yadav (India)
Matches: 44 Wickets: 87 BB: 6/25 Eco: 4.93 Ave: 21.74
It is often said that a spinner is only as good as the faith his captain has in him. Well, Kuldeep must be an exceptional bowler for his skipper Virat Kohli believes fully in his left-arm Chinaman bowler's ability.
"They might get hit for 70-odd in the next game but there is no problem in that because you know that if they bowl attacking lines then they will end up picking two, three wickets every game. In these conditions now and we are going to play the World Cup away from home, that I think is going to be the massive X-factor for us," Kohli said of Kuldeep and his spin twin Yuzvendra Chahal on last year's tour of South Africa.
Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
Matches: 59 Wickets: 125 BB: 7/18 Eco: 3.90 Ave: 15.33
A modern day fairytale. Born in war-torn Nangrahar – a previous Osama-bin-Laden stronghold – Khan has risen from those ashes to be the most popular sportsman in his native land. For all the criticism the various T20 Leagues receive from traditionalists, it has created the space for a globetrotter like Khan to showcase his talents to a worldwide audience.
And what a talent he is. Only 20, he has already bamboozled the most senior international batsmen. He holds the key to any surprise Afghanistan may cause at #CWC19.
Imran Tahir (South Africa)
Matches: 98 Wickets: 162 BB: 7/45 Eco: 4.62 Ave: 24.21
The Proteas owe plenty to a young lady from Durban who convinced a teenage Tahir to turn his back on his Pakistan roots in return for her love all those years ago for the leg-spinner's contribution to spin bowling in South Africa is immeasurable. Not only has he been a match winner for the Proteas since his debut at #CWC11, but he has transformed South Africa's attitude towards spin bowling.
Even at 40, with ODI retirement imminent, there are no signs of Tahir losing his effectiveness as he was the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. A World Cup winner's medal would be the ideal farewell for the Proteas legend.
Shadab Khan (Pakistan)
Matches: 34 Wickets: 47 BB: 4/28 Eco: 4.80 Ave: 27.74
A viral infection almost ruled the Pakistani leg-spinner out of #CWC19, but after visiting a couple of specialists he was cleared to take his place. Pakistan will breathe a sigh of relief as the 20-year-old was sorely missed during the recent England series.
His ability to take wickets regularly during the middle period of the innings is of crucial importance to Pakistan.
Adil Rashid (England)
Matches: 82 Wickets: 132 BB: 5/27 Eco: 5.61 Ave: 30.46
Everyone knows that England can bat, and bat big too. The hosts have a clear-cut plan to chase down anything the opposition throws at them. However, the batsmen would appreciate it if it wasn't 350 every single time. And that's where Rashid comes to the fore.
The Yorkshire leg-spinner is comfortable to be banged over his head a few times, but often comes back and takes the wickets that matter.

It's almost a running joke that everyone is watching Breaking Bad (ourselves included), and the comics world is no exception.
With the show's finale airing in the US tonight (September 29), we thought we would bring together some of our favourite cartoonists' takes on the hit AMC series:
Dan Berry
The British-based Carry Me cartoonist took to Twitter to demonstrate how to draw Walter White in a series of tweets.
We haven't tried yet, but how hard can it be?
Francesco Francavilla
Francavilla's popularity has exploded recently, and he seems to be everywhere, from Batman and guest spots on Swamp Thing to his own Black Beetle series.
The cartoonist also embarked on a project to deliver a minimalist poster inspired by each episode in his instantly recognisable noir-influenced style.
J Scott Campbell
Best known for his illustrations of unnaturally-endowed women, Campbell has gone against type with a series of portraits of the men of Breaking Bad.
These fantastic sketches walk a fine line between caricature and lifelike representations.
Jeff Matsuda
The artist has a propensity for mashing up Batman with everything from Star Trek to the Honey Badger.
Here, he has portrayed Walter and Jesse Pinkman as a very different sort of dynamic duo.
PJ McQuade
Continuing the mash-up theme, we get a direct collision between Breaking Bad and Star Wars.
The sinister 'Darth Heisenberg' is available as a print or vinyl sticker from McQuade's Etsy shop.
Matt Timson
The British illustrator and comic artist offered his own take on Walter.
We love the way this image captures Bryan Cranston's character at his most sinister.
Mike Mitchell
Mitchell offers a unique take on Breaking Bad's cast with his adorable and disturbing art.
These were made as part of the Gallery1988 Breaking Bad Art Project in Los Angeles, if you needed any more evidence that artists are going crazy for the show.
Dave Perillo
We leave you with this Chris Ware-like strip, another Gallery1988 piece.
'Emilio's Disposal' brings us a valuable parable straight from season one.
As a bonus, here is Cinefix's 1960s Batman cartoon-inspired Heisenberg & Pink Man (Warning: Contains spoilers for previous seasons):

Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, in Ilorin, at the weekend, distributed empowerment materials worth N250 million to selected beneficiaries across the state.
A total of 80 tricycle machines, 1,777 grinding machines, and 664 sewing machines among other items were distributed to the beneficiaries.
According to the Senate President, the empowerment scheme was designed to alleviate poverty and equip the less privileged to be economically self-reliant.
Saraki, who was represented at the distribution of the items by the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, said the gesture was in fulfilment of his electioneering campaign promises.
He also advised the beneficiaries to use the items judiciously so that it could uplift them economically.
Also speaking, Director-General, Saraki (Mandate) Constituency Office, Honourable Abdulwahab Issa, said beneficiaries of the scheme were selected across the 16 local government areas of the state.
He listed the beneficiaries to include women associations, taxi drivers association, Hausa groups, Igbo groups, Suru and Fulani groups.
Others, according to him, included members of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Nigeria Association of Local Government Employees (NULGE ), and Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU).

Before and after: Ten years after Ivan
Time, they say, heals all wounds.
That would include, it appears, the ravages from a hurricane. Hurricane Ivan, in this case.
Some of the wounds from the 2004 hurricane not only were massive, they also became iconic images, lasting impressions of that disastrous event.
We sent staff photographer Tony Giberson, who contributed many stark and stunning images during the original coverage of Ivan, to the sites of some of those iconic images, to show what those sites look like now.

Op-Ed: Welcome to Fairfield Center in Connecticut
Genevieve Julich
Jul 29, 2011 in
- It can be said that Fairfield, CT is one of the more well known places in the United States. Take a stroll through Downtown Fairfield and find out why.
As you stroll down Post Road you see a few sites that you might now know about. These are just a few of the many that make up what Money Magazine ranked ninth in 2006 as "the best place to live."
Having lived in Fairfield, CT for the past four years while in college I learned a lot about the sites, places, people, and events that this town has to offer. I've discovered quite a few places....
These unique restaurants are all Located on Post Road, and one token theatre are what make this town so special.
Las Vetas Lounge
is located right next to Fairfield Train Station and has some of the best coffee and tea's, as well as some of the most exotic such a blueberry. Every customer gets a different mug, no two mugs are exactly alike. The lounge has a unique decor. Inside the tables drawers contain love letters written by real people and left for real people. Customers are allowed to read them and put them back. If you are looking for a place to relax, get some work done (they have wifi), or hang out this is the place to try!
Centros Restorante and Bar
is a small restaurant that serves American and Italian foods. What makes it so special is the elegant yet relaxing atmosphere with food out of this world. The pecornio chicken dish with homemade mashed potatoes and vegetables is a favorite!
Firehouse Deli
is a deli inside an old firehouse. There known by many for the Thanksgiving sandwich! This delicious deli has seating inside and outside.
Colony Grill
owned by NY Ranger Chris Drury serves only pizza. With many different toppings the one to try is definitely hot oil!
Chef's Table
Fine Food Fast is there slogan and that is exactly what customers get. The atmosphere is laid back and music oriented with bands that play. With options like create your own salad there is a favorite for everyone. My favorite is the Chicken Mozzarella Panini.
Last but not least the
Community Theatre
. This theatre plays movies,holds shows and serves the traditional popcorn, candy, and soda. What caught my eye was last weekend they had a showing of the movie Jaws, an all time favorite.
So much to do and see, I couldn't give town justice in just one article. See for yourself when you're in the area. Choose from any of these options or more to see what Downtown Fairfield is all about.

What you need to know now that Zuma has resigned - analyst
CAPE TOWN - President Jacob Zuma's announced his resignation as the country's head of state on Wednesday night.
We look into what changes consumers can expect in the country, now that the former President of the republic has yielded to the National Executive Committee's (NEC's) call for his resignation.
Will South Africa enjoy victory?
According to Chief Economist at Investec, Annabel Bishop, South Africa has already enjoyed a victory of R30.2 billion foreign investment since Cyril Ramaphosa succeeded Zuma as President of the African National Congress (ANC) at the end of 2017.
This strengthened the rand by close to R2 against the dollar.
Bishop says that financial markets favour Ramaphosa as it is perceived that he will deliver good governance.
Zuma's damaging leadership
Meanwhile, Zuma's leadership has been severely damaging to the country, suppressing investment and economic growth. Bishop notes that business confidence has been depressed since 2009, averaging at 41%. This is significantly lower than the neutral 50% level.
During Zuma's leadership, there has been credit rating downgrades and higher cost of borrowing.
Changes we can expect
Given South Africa's Constitution, whether Zuma is removed from office through recall or a no confidence motion, the Deputy President, Ramaphosa will then occupy office and complete the term of the removed President.
The new President will then also be allowed to fill two of his own terms as President afterwards.
Bishop says that based on financial markets and the business sector's favour toward Ramaphosa as President of the ANC, it is considered that he will follow economic policies that support economic growth and lean towards the free market approach.
She adds that this may also improve business confidence in the first quarter of 2018.
This can have a direct impact on investment and job creation.
"A marked rise above the neutral 50 level in business confidence would likely spur some fixed investment and job creation, but sustained faster economic growth for SA of the magnitude of 5% plus, will take time, as significant deterioration has occurred in SA's previous key fundamental strengths, but for this repair to take place requires many more urgent interventions now", says Bishop.
Bishop says that overall, South Africa could see a "better than expected economic growth outcome" this year and the next.
"South Africa can eventually regain it's A grade credit ratings, see unemployment drop below 22% and have sustained economic growth above 5.0% y/y again, and repair both its public and SOE finances as it has the capacity to do so, butmust now reduce the size of the state substantially, and allow conditions that see the private corporate sector triple in size".
READ ALSO: #ANCNEC tells Zuma: Resign or be recalled
Will Zuma resign?
Had Zuma refused to exit, the next step to remove him from Presidency would've been to either cast a no confidence vote or a legal challenge to his right to be president (impeachment).
However, this would've reshuffled the entire Cabinet.
"The Centre for Constitutional Rights (CCR) says a passed motion of no confidence "remove(s) not just the President from office, but also, the Deputy President, the entire Cabinet, as well as Deputy Ministers. Thereafter, the Speaker of Parliament assumes the President's office in an acting capacity until the members of the National Assembly elect one of their own to occupy the office of the President." (CCR) The Deputy President would then remain an ordinary Member of Parliament, and would then need to be elected President by the other members of parliament".
"While higher commodity prices have given the mining sector some lift, substantial direct investment (both foreign and domestic) would bring both this sector and the manufacturing industry back to life after almost a decade of weak outcomes on high political and policy uncertainty levels. While South Africa's outlook looks brighter than it did several weeks ago, many hurdles need to be overcome including funding and governance of SOEs other than just Eskom, the extreme expenditure pressure on public finances which has resulted in over borrowing and credit rating downgrades (with SA now facing full sub-investment grade status), the lack of substantial free market, structural reforms and many poor performing government departments".
Concern for consumers
Bishop says that since 2009/2010, economic growth in SA has fallen to around the 1.0% or less on an annual basis since both business and consumer confidence has been depressed.
As a result, unemployment has risen towards 30% over nearly ten years. This has been concerning for consumers, says Bishop.
Coupled with petrol hikes, the overall cost of living has escalated progressively.
Can we expect a strengthening rand?
"An early Zuma exit could potentially see the rand pierce the R11.70/USD key resistance level, and then move towards R11.00/USD providing that Cyril Ramaphosa can assume Presidency of SA without any conditions that hamper his ability to follow the free market reforms necessary to avoid further credit rating downgrades, eradicate corruption and deliver rapid economic growth", says Bishop.
While Zuma will reportedly exit from office one way or the other, Bishop says that an elegant exit along the lines of the Thabo Mbeki experience would be the least disruptive for financial markets and the economy at this point.
Weaker rand
While the rand has the potential to respond well to Ramaphosa's leadership, Zuma's dragged out term in office could potentially cause the rand to subside weaker towards R12.35/USD, says Bishop.
This is especially possible if Zuma were to still remain in office for SONA and the Budget.
The country will now wait for Moody's decision to review the country's ratings to junk status and possibly drop the country's ratings to junk status (all of SA's credit ratings from the key agencies would then be on junk status) after the budget.
"Such uniform junk credit ratings for SA could see the rand move towards R13.00/USD with the national Budget (21st February) a key factor for SA's credit ratings", concludes Bishop.

Richard Tapper Cadbury
Richard Tapper Cadbury (1768 – 13 March 1860) came to Birmingham in 1794 and started a linen draper's business in partnership with a fellow Quaker. His children included John Cadbury who was given help to start a tea and coffee business that would develop into Cadbury's. Successive later members of the family chiefly from their wealth and innovations in chocolate became important in manufacturing and charity sectors.

Early lifeEdit
Cadbury came from Exeter and he was born around 1768. His father was a maker of serge and he was apprenticed to a draper in Gloucester, after which he worked for others in the town.[4]
He entered into partnership with Joseph Rutte in Birmingham from 1794. In 1824, Cadbury senior financed John Cadbury to start a tea and coffee business next door;[4] Benjamin ran the main business from 1829. Richard was given a wage and was able to take on good works.[4]
Cadbury continued to develop the business, but also took a role in civil affairs. He served on Birmingham General Hospital's Board and that of the Eye Hospital as well as getting involved in the affairs of the Town Council.[5]
Cadbury was an abolitionist and in 1840 attended the World's Anti-Slavery Convention at Freemasons' Hall, London. Delegates came from several different countries and a commemorative painting, now displayed in the National Portrait Gallery, records all the notable people who were present. Tapper Cadbury is right at the back of the crowd and his portrait is one of the smallest.[1]
Cadbury died in 1860, the same year that John Cadbury broke his financial links with his brother and shortly after left the business to be run in turn by his sons.
Personal lifeEdit
He married Elizabeth Head from Ipswich in 1796. Two years later the partnership with Rutte was dissolved.[5]
They had ten children: John, James, Ann, Maria, Lucretia, Sarah, Emma Joel, Elizabeth Head, Richard, Benjamin Head, and Joel.[2] In addition, Elizabeth ran the business in his absence.[4] They had a sizable house in the city centre.

China's debt-to-equity swap program appears to be making headway, but there are concerns that some arrangements seem more like loans piled on loans and offer debt relief that is more cosmetic than real. At a recent meeting, Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, said banks must ensure that the sales of debt in the swap program are real, in the sense that the bank is no longer exposed to the risk. In less than three months, the big four banks together have reached agreements with 27 enterprises to resolve debts worth more than 330 billion yuan. Theoretically, investors providing the funds to pay off the debts would become the firms' shareholders. But according to Caixin, the banks have not published details of their swap agreements, so it is unclear how those investments were made and whether all those investors were becoming shareholders.
Debt-for-equity swaps may be cosmetic

If you're counting on your grandparents or parents to leave you an inheritance, you may be disappointed.
How times have changed in the world of estate planning. A recent HSBC survey shows that 23 percent of working Americans now say it's better to spend all of their cash during their lifetime and let their children create their own wealth. Only 9 percent plan to save as much money as possible to pass to younger generations.
But that doesn't mean the kids and the grandkids are going to get shut out. HSBC officials say the trend for working Americans is a new kind of inheritance planning. "This strategy calls for redistributing their savings over a lifetime as a living inheritance versus accumulating wealth for distribution in a will," says Brian Schwartz, a premier wealth advisor for HSBC.
In fact, the HSBC survey shows that 43 percent of U.S. retirees continue to provide regular financial support to at least one other person. This includes 10 percent who are still supporting at least one adult child. Among working-age Americans, 62 percent report providing regular support to at least one other person.
Yes, it's a new day in the world of inheritance, which could sneak up on you if you're not careful. One problem is that many retirees are relying on a bequest to fund their later years, with 29 percent of those who've received or expect to receive an inheritance believing it will fully or partly fund their retirement. Among working age people, 49 percent expect to receive a legacy that will support them later in life, Schwartz says.
Some 59 percent of working-age Americans expect to leave a financial legacy to their children, but less than a third report actually receiving one.
"Responsible Americans should not look at inheritance as even part of their retirement plan," Schwartz says. "That is the sort of the icing on the cake and not the cake. If that generation relies on inheritance, then maybe they need to have more transparent conversations with the generation that will be passing that."
Schwartz says that doesn't mean people plan on spending the money all by themselves if they don't leave it in their wills. They want to "live and experience the results of their legacy planning, be it with their children, grandchildren or others," he says.
Maybe more Americans are following the lead of titans Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who have a concern about the social footprint left on a generation who stands to inherit money they didn't earn. Schwartz says there's nothing wrong with that mentality: "I think people have afforded themselves the right to be a bit selfish if they worked and sacrificed all of their lives, and there's a surplus in their retirement planning."
Many are helping children with their debt, or their grandchildren with their educational expenses. One of their concerns in acting now is what's going to happen with estate taxes and how that will eat away at their money when they die. So Schwartz says they would rather give money away now.
What the survey says is that many retirees say they have not achieved any of their hopes and aspirations since retiring. In the US, 59 percent say that's the case, which is lower than the 73 percent who say so globally.
There's some concern about "giving while living," says Andrew Ireland, executive vice president and head of premier banking at HSBC USA. Others have raised concerns about binge spending.
"It's essential that people of all ages adequately prepare for life's later stages," Ireland says. "Even the smallest amount saved today can contribute to the lifestyle you want in retirement and the legacy you hope to leave. Those who fail to plan may find that any kind of inheritance is unlikely and also that a comfortable retirement is beyond reach."
Schwartz says he believes it's more of a social issue than a money issue, that existing generations are familiar with their parent's experience of the Great Depression and save to the extreme, finding comfort in holding onto cash. "I don't always find that older Americans are not realizing their hope and aspirations because of unaffordability," he says.
Another insight of the survey is that semi-retirement is on the rise, with 42 percent of working-age Americans saying they plan to semi-retire before fully retiring. That's nearly double the 22 percent of current retirees who initially semi-retired.
More people are looking at a retirement that comes gradually over 10 to 20 years instead of stopping work one day. "It's the old adage that you can't take it with you," Schwartz says. "I think this is a quality of life issue of people asking if absolute retirement should work like a light switch in an on or off position."
After all, the number-one variable and retirement plan that's the easiest to administer, Schwartz says, is lifestyle.
