"As a European and as a socialist I firmly believe in Europe"
Mário Alberto Nobre Lopes Soares (Lisbon, December 7th, 1924 – Lisbon, January 7th, 2017) was one of the most prominent Portuguese politicians of the 20th century. A leading opponent of the New State (Estado Novo) – the dictatorship that prevailed in Portugal between 1933 and 1974.
With a solid humanist background, he defined himself as republican, socialist, secular, Portuguese, Europeanist and citizen of the world. He made his life a constant and persistent fight for the values and causes he believed in, his greatest cause being the defence of freedom and democracy.
Lawyer, professor, oppositionist to the dictatorship, imprisoned more than ten times, deported and political exile, leader of the Portuguese Socialist Action, founder and Secretary-General of the Portuguese Socialist Party Vice-President of the Socialist International, Minister, Prime Minister and President of the Republic, Member of the European Parliament, President of the European Movement; and Chairman of the Committee of Wise Persons of the Council of Europe, the Independent World Commission on the Oceans, the Committee for the World Water Contract and the Commission on Religious Freedom.
During the 1974-1975 revolutionary period, Mário Soares' action was decisive for Portugal to transform itself into a pluralist democracy. As Prime Minister, he played a decisive role in concretizing the basic principles of the Constitutional Regime and the construction of a welfare state in Portugal. It was Mário Soares who initiated and led the process of Portugal's accession to the European Economic Community, between 1977 and 1985, the year in which, as Prime Minister, he signed the Accession Treaty.
"As a European and as a socialist I firmly believe in Europe. I know that the idea of a political Europe, based on a community of interests and objectives and, above all, on the ideal of freedom, poses a great challenge. Not only for us, who are living the tormented post-war period, but also for the new generations facing planetary problems that jeopardize the survival of the human species. A challenge that deserves our commitment with determination and courage, in order to overcome our present economic and social difficulties and also as a balancing factor between rival blocs and superpowers".
An exceedingly cultivated man, he was a close friend of the great political and intellectual figures of his time, with whom he exchanged views, debated ideas and sought inspiring paths for Europe and the World. He published a vast political work, reflecting on the issues that marked the world, pointing out paths, alerting to dangers, making criticisms, expressing hope, encouraging dialogues.
In the last years of his life, he warned and cautioned, with extreme lucidity, about the dangers that shadowed the European project, reinforcing the importance of fidelity to its founding ideals, particularly the one of solidarity between its members.Mário Soares was always a great European voice.
Mário Soares was born and raised in a family of liberal-republican tradition, which influenced him decisively. His great reference was his father, a defender of republican ideals, priest, politician (Member of Parliament and Minister during the First Republic), a man who opposed the New State dictatorship led by Oliveira Salazar.
João Soares was also a recognized pedagogue, having introduced several pedagogical innovations in Colégio Moderno, which he founded, a school that is still a reference in Portugal.
The cultural and political environment, imbued of a spirit of resistance and anti-fascist opposition, in which Mário Soares grew up, having even seen his father imprisoned several times, provided him with political upbringing, education and awareness.
When he was still a high school student, he became interested in literature, philosophy, history and art, focusing his attention on political issues. Some of his teachers were celebrated Portuguese intellectuals, among which were several oppositionists to the Regime, who contributed to the humanist education and idealism of the young anti-fascist.
At the age of 17, he entered university, enrolling in the course of Historical-Philosophical Sciences, starting at that time his action as an anti-fascist activist. He joined the Portuguese Communist Youth and several unitary anti-fascist movements. In 1946, when he was 21 years old, he signed his first political text – "Youth is Not with the New State" – and soon asserted himself as a spokesman for the Portuguese democratic youth.
"It is difficult to ascertain the moment when one begins to think with one's own mind, so slow and arduous is the learning of mental independence and so decisive are the influences that weigh, clash, and condition our positions, even those apparently more personal. / I do know that I enrolled at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, at the age of seventeen, in October 1942, and that, at the time, I already had a clearly outlined mental and political position. (…)"
At their side, he resisted and fought the dictatorship, discussed political works of reference and consolidated his political and cultural thinking. When, in 1951, he finished his degree, in the meanwhile breaking up with the Communist Party, he had already developed an intense activity in the opposition, having been arrested four times for political reasons. He was imprisoned at the Aljube Prison, in Lisbon, at the time he married Maria de Jesus Barroso (1925-2015).
Mário Soares took a second degree in Law, completed in 1957. He practiced law, working several times as defender of oppositionists to the dictatorship, increasingly engaging in that political fight.
Throughout his personal journey, he remained faithful to the concerns and fundamental values that underpinned his training and guided his youth, evoking them systematically, sharing them until the end of his life with the younger generations, transmitting to them his passion for politics and for public affairs.
"Only those who give up fighting are defeated".
Mário Soares' personal journey merges with the fight for freedom and the assertion of democracy in Portugal.
Always at the forefront of the resistance to the dictatorship, he quickly became one of the most respected figures in the democratic opposition, nationally and internationally
He fought the New State for more than three decades: joining and leading resistance organizations; supporting and getting actively involved in the electoral campaigns through which the opposition tried to fight the regime; writing, signing, being spokesman for fundamental texts which denounced the dictatorship's actions against freedom and fundamental rights; organizing and taking part in many public demonstrations; and as a lawyer for countless political prisoners, in the course of which his pugnacious interventions and his oratorical and reasoning skills became famous.
He was arrested twelve times. In 1968 he was deported to S. Tomé, by order of the dictator Salazar, with no date for his return to Lisbon. He then received the solidarity of the International League for Human Rights and was named "Prisoner of the Year" by Amnesty International. With the fall of Oliveira Salazar, who was succeeded by Marcello Caetano, the deportation of Mário Soares ended, and he continued his political combat.
The fight against the Portuguese dictatorship was intensified. The regime was increasingly challenged at the international level, the main focus being the colonial policy and the colonial war in which the country was engaged since 1961.
In 1970, after a tour of several Latin America countries marked by successive addresses denouncing the dictatorship, Mário Soares delivered an important speech in New York against the Portuguese government's colonial policy. A few days later, he took part in a debate at the Council of Europe, on "Violation of Human Rights in Portugal". The government's retaliation did not take long, opening a lawsuit against Soares, accusing him of "treason to the motherland".
Mário Soares went into exile in Paris, where he carried on his oppositionist activity. He intensified his contacts with great European politicians, such as François Mitterrand or Willy Brandt.
In 1972, he led the integration of the Portuguese Socialist Action, which he had founded in 1964, in the Socialist International. Soares then took part in the debate "Socialist Policy for Europe".
A year later, in Bad Münstereifel, Germany, he founded the Portuguese Socialist Party and was elected as its first Secretary-General. Mário Soares wanted the party to be an instrument to transform Portugal, at a time when moves against the dictatorial regime were intensifying.
After the overthrow of the Portuguese dictatorship by the Armed Forces Movement, on April 25th, 1974, Mário Soares returned from his exile in Paris to continue his fight, now in a context of freedom: to build a pluralist democracy in Portugal.
In the long and consistent work that he had carried out until then, Soares had conceived and prepared a political project for Portugal, for which he fought during the troubled years of the Revolution (1974-1975). The Socialist Party quickly evolved from a poorly organized force to the main Portuguese political party, winner of the first free and democratic elections (constituent, legislative and municipal).
As Minister (Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister Without Portfolio) of the provisional governments, Mário Soares chose, as priorities for Portugal, establishing international relations with Europe and with the world, after decades of isolation, and the decolonization process of the Portuguese African territories. His confrontation with the Communist Party, which he accused of intending to "seize power" and implant a communist regime in Portugal, was decisive for the outcome of the revolutionary period.
Mário Soares was the first constitutional Prime Minister in the history of Portuguese democracy.
Facing a serious financial crisis, his government's policies laid the foundations of the Welfare State, through the creation of the National Health Service and extensive reforms in the areas of education, justice, labour and social rights. He kept on opening Portugal to the world, changing the paradigm of international relations, asserting the country in the European context. Since the years of the Portuguese dictatorship, Portugal's integration in Europe had been one of his greatest concerns.
in 1977 Mário Soares formally requested Portugal's accession to the European Economic Community and signed the Accession Treaty in 1985
He was Prime Minister three times, as head of the I, II and IX governments (1976-1977; 1978; 1983-1985), and for 12 years he was leader of the Socialist Party.
Mário Soares was the first civilian President of the Portuguese Republic, elected in 1986.
He put into practice a new way to exercise the highest office of the State, getting closer to the citizens, listening to them and their problems, making use of a magisterial influence. He created the "Open Presidencies", in which he toured the country, selecting and drawing attention to major issues, in very different areas: from culture to education and science; from economy to the environment; from solidarity and cooperation to technology, innovation and modernization, among many others. In 1991, he was re-elected President of the Republic, garnering the highest vote ever for that office.
A builder of democracy, a man of culture, with an historical conscience and an unusual political intuition, Mário Soares never turned his back on a political fight. Throughout his personal journey, the citizen merges with the politician, in a constant struggle for a better, more just and egalitarian world.
"Let us give the floor to the new generations and encourage them to freely give their Country the creativity of their youth. Let us live up to the best of our history and our culture. In solidarity, let us raise the name of Portugal in the World, with valorous deeds and works, at the service of man, of our land and peace".
Mário Soares was a major figure in contemporary Europe. He reflected deeply, discussed and wrote about it, striving for and defending the ideal of a united, strong and solidary Europe.
Mário Soares always rejected the notion that the European Union should be nothing more than a sum of the interests and rivalries of its Member States,
guided by economic and financial criteria, adopting a policy of deference towards other world powers or concentrating on short-term interests and objectives. On the contrary, he argued in favour of an independent, cohesive and united Europe, around a solid project for the future, the reinforcement of its welfare states and an unwavering respect for human rights.
After exercising the highest political positions in Portugal, Mário Soares assumed, between 1997 and 1999, the Presidency of European Movement International, where he developed a broad work to promote European ideals and values. He was also, between 1997 and 1998, Chairman of the Committee of Wise Persons of the Council of Europe, and exercised a mandate as Member of the European Parliament (1999-2004).
"The insecure, unregulated and uncertain World in which we live vitally needs, in order to rediscover the fundamental balances, a cohesive, strong, and solidary Europe, open to the outside".
During the last years of his life, Mário Soares raised his voice – in speeches, interviews, articles and essays – in defence of the values that presided over the construction of Europe, feeling that they were being left behind. He defended the proposal for a European Constitution and fiercely criticized the dominant neoliberal policies and the "globalization without values" which were dragging Europe into a serious identity crisis and, in his opinion, undermined democracy itself.
Although disillusioned, he was not resigned, and continued spreading a message of hope for the future. In 2011, he wrote:
"I believe that the European People, as a whole, at both national and European levels, are capable of reacting peacefully and imposing another way on European political and economic leaders, so as to avoid falling into decay and disaggregation."
A humanist and universalist politician, the main challenges that the world faced (and still faces) were also Mário Soares' main concerns. He thought and acted in a changing world, always aware of both the past and perspectives for the future. He knew that the fight for a better world is a constant and daily fight, requiring persistence and courage. Mário Soares never lacked these in the many and varied global causes he embraced.
As party leader, Prime Minister, President of the Republic, Member of the European Parliament and President of the Mário Soares Foundation,
he developed a permanent activity in defence of democracy and peace, always affirming the irreplaceable role of Europe and Europeans in that combat.
The fight for the respect for Human Rights guided his action, always with the objective of ensuring the dignity of the human person, regardless of colour, gender, religious belief or social condition. He defended the fundamental values of freedom and democracy, publicly denouncing those regimes that did not respect them, a labour that was recognized and for which he received several awards, such as the qual recebeu várias distinções, como o International League for Human Rights Award, as early as 1977.
Mário Soares fought for the concerted action of the various States in the response to global problems which he clearly identified in recent decades: the generalization of poverty, wars and conflicts between States, the drama of refugees, international organized crime and corruption, the exponential spread of pandemics, the increasing degradation of the environment and climate changes.
"Progressive societies must necessarily be societies imbued with freedom, justice and well-being – for all citizens and not just for some. The right to be different and the right to pursue individual happiness, and full personal fulfilment, are based on equal opportunities for all, laid down at the outset, on respect for others and on a general sense of tolerance, to which I like to call fraternity".
He was involved in all these major issues, leading and joining international commissions, missions and delegations, but also addressing forums, giving lectures and writing texts and books about them. During the 1970s and 1980s, he headed, at the invitation of Willy Brandt, several delegations of Socialist International for Peace in the Middle East and Latin America, and carried out various fact-finding missions to Southern Africa.
He was Chairman of the Independent World Commission on the Oceans (1995-1998), presenting a report containing proposals to halt the very serious deterioration that was already occurring.
It was a wake-up call regarding one of humanity's greatest challenges: saving the oceans. He was also Chairman of the Committee for the World Water Contract (since 1998) and Patron of the International Ocean Institute (since 2009).
Chairman of the Portuguese Commission for the Celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1998), he headed the fact-finding mission on the situation in Algeria, by appointment of the United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan (1998), and the European Parliament's delegation for relations with Israel (2002). Between 2007 and 2011, he chaired the Commission on Religious Freedom and was President of the Jury for the UNESCO Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize. In 1997, he was elected President of the Portugal-Africa Foundation.
A year earlier, he had created his own foundation, where he developed a wide-ranging effort to preserve the memory of the fight for democracy, both in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking countries.

Marty Stuart is at once part of the country music establishment and at odds with it. Though he's stayed true to his "hillbilly-rock" roots, artfully combining his loves of bluegrass and country, Stuart is also an art collector, photographer, author, producer (having last made a disc for actor Billy Bob Thornton), and president of the Country Music Foundation. Suffice it to say he's not your average porch-pluckin' redneck. And the man can play: He was a child prodigy and has become an award-winning (three Grammys, two BMI songwriting awards, and an International Bluegrass Music Association Award) singer, songwriter, and musician. As the notes fly off the fretboard, the wonderfully talented strummer straddles a fine line between tack and taste—maybe it's the Nudie suits, or his so-called "glitterbilly" stylings. Stuart plays with Last Train Home at 7:30 p.m. at the Birchmere, 3701 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria. $25. (703) 549-7500. (Buzz McClain)

President Biden,
c/o The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
There have been many articles written by evangelicals like me who fear that our founding fathers would not recognize our country today because secular humanism has rid our nation of spiritual roots. I am deeply troubled by the secular agenda of those who are at war with religion in our public life. WERE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS BELIEVERS IN CHRISTIANITY OR SECULAR HUMANISTS THEMSELVES?
I had a chance to take my kids to hear Ken Ham speak one time in Little Rock because I really respect him a lot. Evangelical leader Ken Ham rightly has noted, "Most of the founding fathers of this nation … built the worldview of this nation on the authority of the Word of God."
Dr. Michael Davis of California has asserted that he has no doubts that our President is a professing Christian, but his policies are those of a secular humanist. I share these same views. However, our founding fathers were anything but secular humanists in their views. John Adams actually wrote in a letter, "There is no authority, civil or religious – there can be no legitimate government – but that which is administered by this Holy Ghost."
David Barton has put together a great collection of quotes from the founding fathers about their faith in Christ:
First Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court
Unto Him who is the author and giver of all good, I render sincere and humble thanks for His manifold and unmerited blessings, and especially for our redemption and salvation by His beloved son. He has been pleased to bless me with excellent parents, with a virtuous wife, and with worthy children. His protection has companied me through many eventful years, faithfully employed in the service of my country; His providence has not only conducted me to this tranquil situation but also given me abundant reason to be contented and thankful. Blessed be His holy name!
Will of John Jay
Signer of the Constitution
In the name of God, Amen. I, Daniel of Saint Thomas Jenifer . . . of dispossing mind and memory, commend my soul to my blessed Redeemer. . .
Will of Daniel St. Thomas Jenifer
Revolutionary War General, Secretary of War
First, I think it proper to express my unshaken opinion of the immortality of my soul or mind; and to dedicate and devote the same to the supreme head of the Universe – to that great and tremendous Jehovah, – Who created the universal frame of nature, worlds, and systems in number infinite . . . To this awfully sublime Being do I resign my spirit with unlimited confidence of His mercy and protection . . .
Will of Henry Knox
Signer of the Constitution
In the name of God, Amen. I, John Langdon, . . . considering the uncertainty of life and that it is appointed unto all men once to die [Hebrews 9:27], do make, ordain and publish this my last will and testament in manner following, that is to say-First: I commend my soul to the infinite mercies of God in Christ Jesus, the beloved Son of the Father, who died and rose again that He might be the Lord of the dead and of the living . . . professing to believe and hope in the joyful Scripture doctrine of a resurrection to eternal life . . .
Will of John Langdon
Signer of the Declaration of Independence
With an awful reverence to the great Almighty God, Creator of all mankind, I, John Morton . . . being sick and weak in body but of sound mind and memory-thanks be given to Almighty God for the same, for all His mercies and favors-and considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the times thereof, do, for the settling of such temporal estate as it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life . . .
Will of John Morton
Thank you so much for your time. I know how valuable it is. I also appreciate the fine family that you have and your commitment as a father and a husband.
Everette Hatcher III, 13900 Cottontail Lane, Alexander, AR 72002, ph 501-920-5733

Everything you could ask for
I had a 2001 Chevy Tracker that wouldn't quit. This 2002 XL7 is all that plus a better ride, more room and even a few more amenities. Reliability is of upmost importance to me. I prefer a vehicle that only requires maintenance and not breakdown repairs. Suzuki had been doing it right, right up until they stopped selling in North America. Built here in Canada, for Canadian roads, and Bush. Built to last.
the best reliable car i ever owned.
grate car plenty of seating up to 7 passenger great for a family o 7 good height level for tall guys. got over 300.000 miles on it and still running only problem need to add motor oil every 1000 miles justified for the miles that it has. would buy another like this one. only had basic maintenance and repairs nice and strong vehicle very happy with it
16 years and going strong
I bought this car new in 2002, I needed four wheel drive in the mountains of VT AND room for 4 kids. While the SUV does nothing wonderfully is does everything well. I can drive it for 8 hours and mostly be able to walk afterwards. Can carry and/or tow just about anything I need. Camping gear, canoe on the roof, trailer with tents coolers etc. It just keeps going. Soon to be passed down to my 16 year old son and probably good for another 180,000 miles.

By Victor Akaa, Abuja
The Alumni Association of National Defence College (AANDEC) has distributed 4 sets of pedal operated hand cleansing facilities, Personal Protected Equipment (PPE) and other supporting materials to the National Defence College (NDC) in Abuja.
Presenting the items on behalf of the association, the AANDEC President, Maj. Gen. Garba Audu (Rtd) said, the presentation was part of efforts to assist the College to the fight against the novel corona virus ravaging the world, Nigeria inclusive.
Gen. Audu maintained that, the facilities will help in keeping the personal hygienic conditions of the college, staff and the visitors.
"At this period of corona virus, we thought it wise as members of the Alumni to give back to our Alma mater this equipments and the supporting materials.
"The reason is for at least supporting them in fighting the Covid- 19 in the college.
"The essence of these supporting materials and Pedal operated Hand Cleansing is to make sure that it checked people who are coming into the college instantly at the doorstep". Audu stressed.
He said, the Alumni had benefited immensely from the college hence the need to reciprocate in contributing its quota to the college.
He further explained that, the hand sanitizers which were locally made is strictly operated using legs only.
"The Pedal Operated Hand Cleansing Facilities are operated by leg. All what is been done here is by, you use your leg to bring out the water and sanitizer entering the premises disinfected". He explained.
Collecting the equipment on behalf of the college, the Commandant, National Defence College, Rear Admiral Mackson Kadiri thanked the AANDEC for the kind gesture and assured that the materials will be put to proper and good use.
He thanked the President and all the members of the Alumni for always identifying with the college and all its generous contribution as well as support to the college.

I want to draw an archimate diagram with some "interface" and "interface-required"However the syntax does not seem to like sprites with "-" in them, so "interface-required" will not work.
Is there a way to make this work without "wrapping" (e.g. rectangl) them in a new symbol?
This works fine
rectangle "hello" as hellointerface "provider" as providerprovider -- hello
rectangle "hello" as hellointerface "provider" as provider
provider -- hello
This does not.
rectangle "hello" as hellointerface "provider" as providerinterface-required "req" as reqprovider -- helloreq -- hello
I think you're confusing sprites and shapes. Interface and Interface-require are both available as sprites - which go inside shapes (usually rectangles).
There is a special shape called archimate which draws a rectangle and lets you specify the sprite a bit easier:
archimate #technology "text" as A <<interface>>
But you can use any plantuml shape, such as rectangle, with a slightly different syntax:
rectangle #technology "text" as A <<$archimate/interface>>
For example you can use the 'cloud' shape :
cloud #technology "text" as A <<$archimate/interface>>
Now what I think has confused you is that there is actually a shape called interface (for use in the Deployment style diagrams). So the following works:
interface #technology "text" as B <<$archimate/interface>>(for some reason I had to draw it twice to get the sprite, probably a bug! to do with the shape not being big enough to contain the sprite)
interface #technology "text" as B <<$archimate/interface>>
(for some reason I had to draw it twice to get the sprite, probably a bug! to do with the shape not being big enough to contain the sprite)
However there is no shape called interface-required. In fact only a few sprite names and shape names coincide (eg actor, component, node). The majority of the archimate sprite names do not exist as shapes. And many shape names (eg control, entity, stack) don't exist as sprite names.
Hope this helps.
'label' is an empty shape, so you can display just the icons, but they are a bit small.
The wonderful thing about PlantUML is that although it looks simple, the number of permutations of features is incredible. For example I found you can do this! (I'm not suggesting it is useful for you, but it's amazing that you can do it!)
Hello all,
The only downside is that it is not vectorial, and that we see the pixels...It will be perhaps good to have a port on SVG...
Hello M.
If you want, you can use stereotype ('<<' and '>>') for that, as:
rectangle "hello" as hello
interface "provider" as provider
interface "req" as req <<required>>
provider -- hello
req -- hello
[See on online server]
If that can help,Regards,Th.
Hi Th
Thanks for the answer, but it's not quite what I'm after or I'm miss-understanding something. I want to use "interface-required" and not "interface" and the stereotype does not help here, If I place "interface-required" first as in
interface-required "foo" as foo
it's a syntax error. I can use the "interface-required" sprite only if I embed it in another sprite that does not have a "-" in it, ie as done here https://plantuml.com/archimate-diagram
Here is an example with archimate stereotype [See the full documentation on https://plantuml.com/archimate-diagram], with:
interface "req1" as req1 <<$archimate/interface-required>>
archimate #Business "req2" as req2 <<interface-required>>
rectangle "hello" as hello
interface "provider" as provider
interface "req1" as req1 <<$archimate/interface-required>>
archimate #Business "req2" as req2 <<interface-required>>
provider -- hello
req1 -- hello
req2 -- hello

After graduating from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering, Barbara Kerr Beckmann was hired by Humble Oil and Refining Co. in 1961. First serving as a computer analyst, she spent seven years in her role, in which she developed several simulation programs and acted as an advisor. During this time, she recognized that the work she completed gave her a deeper understanding of the refinery process; something that took other engineers in her field decades to understand.
Subsequently, Ms. Beckmann transitioned into an engineering role at Humble Oil and Refining Co., leveraging her knowledge she had gained while working as a computer analyst to further support her engineering endeavors. Humble Oil and Refining Co. was rebranded in 1972 as Exxon. Ms. Beckmann remained with the company during these transitions and, in 1999, the company experienced a merger that created ExxonMobil, the name it is recognized as today. Throughout all the changes from Humble Oil and Refining Co. to ExxonMobil, Ms. Beckmann remained a steadfast engineer and reputable figure in her industry, gaining the trust and respect of those around her. Additionally, in light of the pioneering advancements in the oil, refinery, engineering and energy industries, Ms. Beckmann continued to remain abreast of these developments.
Currently, Ms. Beckmann excels as a senior economic advisor for ExxonMobil, where she focuses on planning and optimization. Likewise, she enjoys mentoring the younger generations of engineers and other software professionals. Working out of the company's Baton Rouge branch in Louisiana, she recently celebrated her 60th work anniversary in 2021. Looking forward, she intends to continue working for as long as she is able.
As a testament to her success, Ms. Beckmann was named one of the American Business Women's Association's Top 10 People, and she also earned a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Mississippi and a Trailblazer Award from the YWCA. A member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the United Way and the Quota Club, she works with her local church in her spare time.

Here is a GIF version of the image, better suited for printing out.
Image size: 1849x705 pixels.
Kayak paddle collected in 1890's given to Upernavik Museum from Odense Byter Museums appears to be very similar to a paddle Gail Ferris measured June 1995 from Kiidlit/Vestejland, an Island on the western edge of Disko Bay.
This paddle has a very distinct ridge down the middle of the blade which the paddle from Kiidlit did not have.
This is a very thick paddle.
Overall length: 200cm
Bone edge is 1cm wideby 39cm long by 0.75cm thick.
Bone tip is 8cm long
ransition from paddle blade to the shaft starts at 75cm from the tip.
You asked me why the diamond shape in Nathanial Jensens paddle affects the wake vortex configuration by splitting them. Well Nikolaj Jensen and I both agreed that the annoying thing about a flat faced paddle is that the paddle chatters or wavers up and down in the water during heavy acceleration. And so to eliminate this is to make the paddle blade face diamond shaped.
I think the best way to discribe the effect of a diamond shaped paddle blade face is that it causes wake separation sufficient during start-up acceleration to eliminate the combining of the wake from the power face and back face from generating perceptible wake drag. The wake generated on the power face is divided into two simultaneous wakes one on the top and one on the bottom of the face instead of one alternately coming off the top and then again off the bottom.
Also I think if you look closely at the unusual shape of both the Odense and most particularly the Kitdit paddle you will see that there is a highly exaggerated roundness at the 40 and 60 cm. sections where the wood junctions with the bone edge of the paddle forming a concave area at the juncture of the bone with the wood. I noticed this very extreme juncture area and wondered why it was so rounded up rather than delicately flattened to a nice gentle integrated line with the bone and wood melling together with no concavity rather a gentle sloping shape.

Fighting For the Top Seed, One Piece Away? Valentine Traded (and Waived), and Other Bulls Bullets
Another year, another depressing season of Chicago Bulls basketball.
*dog runs up and begins to bark*
What's that, boy? It wasn't depressing at all?
*dog continues to bark, and I continue to somehow understand said barks*
The Bulls actually got a lot better? So much so that they are a top-five team in the NBA!?
*dog barks even more vigorously*
Oh, wait, Susie fell down the well? What are you waiting for, boy, go tell her the Bulls are back!
• Before the bottles are popped and the appetizers are served, the Chicago Bulls will tip-off the festivities today with a game in Indianapolis. The Bulls and Pacers will meet at 2:00 p.m. CT in their third matchup of the season. In case pushing this win-streak to six games isn't enough to motivate the Bulls locker room on this Holiday afternoon, I recommend head coach Chris Fleming prints out the Eastern Conference standings. Thanks to a Brooklyn Nets loss to the Philadelphia 76ers last night, the Chicago Bulls are one win away from ending 2021 and starting 2022 as the East's No. 1 seed.
• Considering 49 games await Chicago, holding onto the top spot by a slim margin may not be worth too much bragging, but it does set the Bulls up beautifully heading into the new year. After this Pacers battle, the Bulls play an inconsistent Wizards team (18-17) currently down their starting point guard twice in the next four games. The other two contests will come against the Orlando Magic – the NBA's 2nd-worst team – and the below-.500 Dallas Mavericks. This will all lead into the third meeting of the season between the Bulls and Nets. BRING IT ON!
• Only 2.0 games currently make up the difference between sitting 4th (Heat) and first, meaning every win matters in this competitive Eastern Conference. Even the team that claims the 5th spot is only 4.0 games out from the mountain top, and that team just showed everyone they want to climb. After losing Ricky Rubio to a season-ending knee injury, the organization jumped on the opportunity to add another veteran point guard in Rajon Rondo. Trade talks heated up on Thursday night, and the deal that was eventually finalized this morning included a familiar face.
ESPN Sources: The Cavaliers have agreed to trade Denzel Valentine to the Lakers to acquire Rajon Rondo. The Lakers are expected to waive Valentine's partially-guaranteed deal and create an open roster spot.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 31, 2021
• Rondo's addition isn't going to take the Cavaliers to new heights. The 35-year-old simply isn't what he once was. What he can do, however, is help fill the much-needed veteran facilitating gap that was created by the Rubio injury, and that might be all the Cavaliers need to stay on their current course. Also, the addition could signal that the Cavs aren't done. If they have acted this fast to try to make sure the team didn't skip a beat, then who's to say they will not be more aggressive as the trade deadline nears?
• As for the Denzel Valentine piece of this, I think it simply confirms a lot of what Bulls fans already knew: Valentine isn't a contributor on a winning team right now. To think the Bulls relied on him in 62 games last season is pretty wild, and it just goes to show how depleted in talent this roster used to be. And, to be clear, it's hard to blame Valentine for struggling to find his place in the league. Sure, his shot selection made us all lose hair at times, but I do think it's his poor injury luck that has led him to this point. Remember, this is a guy who has undergone knee surgery and ankle reconstruction surgery. Now, with all that said, considering the many opportunities open around the league, I bet he gets another shot. He does have a decent three-ball, and he's always been an underrated passer.
• The Wizards added veteran Brad Wanamaker on a 10-day deal as a short-term replacement for starting point guard Spencer Dinwiddie. However, Wanamaker has now joined Dinwiddie in protocols, along with Montrezl Harrell, Rui Hachimura, Aaron Holiday, Thomas Bryant, and Raul Neto.
Wizards hardship guard Brad Wanamaker has entered health and safety protocols, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Wanamaker had seven points, seven assists and five rebounds in Washington's win vs. Cavaliers last night.

• ESPN's Zach Lowe couldn't help but gush about DeMar DeRozan in his latest column:
Friday = 10 Things I Like + Don't Like, starring DeMar DeRozan, cool rebounds, the adaptable Miami Heat, Kenny Hustle and the Thunder, intolerable broadcasting, Trez and maybe my favorite 18 seconds in the NBA this season, more:https://t.co/uf97NyBYLG
— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) December 31, 2021
• One important thing Lowe said revolves around where the Bulls stand as true Eastern Conference contenders:
The Bulls are probably one player away from really pushing full-squad versions of the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets, but who knows if we will see those versions when it counts.
• While they may not have a player on the same level as Kevin Durant or Giannis Antetokounmpo, they do have the best trio in the game right now. Add another high-end starter to the lineup, and it's hard not to agree they could have the numbers to potentially beat either one of these playoff staples in a seven-game series.
• Shoutout Lowe for helping me segway perfectly into this …

2023 Honda HR-V Interior, Release Date, Price
2023 Honda HR-V Interior, Release Date, Price – All three aspects of the HR-V are praised: internal flexibility, riding quality, and efficiency. Honda's smallest crossover SUV the 2023 Honda HR-V Interior, is one of the top options in its class, along with the Chevy Trax, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade. Buyers should, however, keep in mind that there are some drawbacks to subcompact crossovers. Some essential features are omitted from the standard HR-V, such as active safety systems, and the engine's lack of power results in sluggish acceleration.
There hasn't been much of a change in the HR-V model since its launch in 2016. For the 2022 model year, Honda has revised the car's design and added two new trim levels, both of which have new touchscreen amenities. The price of the 2023 edition remains the same, but it is now more expensive throughout the board. The vehicle is expected to stay nearly unchanged, with a few additions scheduled for the 2023 Honda HR-V (more standard amenities and accessible active safety technology). There are no indicators of a new, more powerful engine or a hybrid variant for the upcoming model year.
2023 Honda HR-V Redesign
Exterior Design
A few aesthetic tweaks have been made for the 2023 Honda HR-V Interior, but the 2023 model will be the same. The new model year should bring new color possibilities and, who knows, a new aesthetic package. Since the current model year is towards the conclusion of its life cycle, there won't be any significant alterations until the anticipated 2022 model year makeover.
The HR-V is a stylish crossover based on the Honda Fit. Attractive body lines and shapes are coupled with Honda styling characteristics in this vehicle. Adding to the model's design are also a sport-style front bumper and strong creases on the side panels. The Sport and Touring models also include additional stylistic flourishes, such as unique 18-inch wheels and the standard model.
Interior Design
Interior changes for the upcoming 2023 Honda HR-V Interior are not expected. Inside, the vehicle has a lot of room for personalization and offers an excellent view to the driver and passengers on all sides. Additionally, the driver's seat is comfortable, and both rows of seating accommodate adults. When the back seats stand tucked down, the SUV has a class-leading cargo capacity of 55.9 cu-ft.
The interior design should remain unchanged, but more standard features and more active safety systems should be added to the model. Although it hasn't been confirmed, the HR-V of 2023 may come standard with a full complement of functional safety features. Lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and the automatic emergency braking are now only available on the higher-end models. However, these features should be available on the base model for this year's models. The next generation of the HR-V is expected to include improved infotainment features.
There will be a slew of new features in the 2023 Honda HR-V subcompact vehicle. However, the new CR-V model's interior will be given a slight update by the manufacturer. New features include improved comfort and an updated infotainment system for the forthcoming model. The layout of the Honda HR-V will be the same as previously.
It has a roomy cabin that spans two rows of seating. A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard features in the lowest LX trim. The new Touring option will feature leather seating and an 8-way power driver's seat, enhancing comfort even further. Those who want a black headliner and gloss-black trim and sport pedals with the Sport package will have to pay an additional fee.
2023 Honda HR-V Engine
The standard ordinarily aspirated engine was replaced with a new 1.5-lt turbocharged one in Honda's recently upgraded, fast-selling CR-V model. The new Honda CR-V also features a hybrid variant powered by a four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine and two electric motors. It's disappointing that Honda has given no indications that the forthcoming 2023 Honda HR-V Interior would follow in the larger stablemate's footsteps.
Although we'd like to see a 1.5-lt turbocharged engine in the options list of the upcoming Honda HR-V, there is no evidence that Honda is considering this engine for its smallest crossover. You can't go wrong with an upgraded 1.8-lt non-turbo engine, which would be an excellent update for the vehicle. The new CR-V has a turbo-4 engine that produces 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.
It's a secure bet for a modern 1.8-lt four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable gearbox (CVT). This vehicle will have both a standard and optional all-wheel-drive option. In other words, the engine should put out the same 141 horsepower and 127 pounds-feet of torque as before. The engine isn't able to accelerate quickly, but it does a decent job of saving gas. A 28 mpg city/34 mph highway rating is expected from the front-wheel-drive models. The HR-V should get 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the interstate if it has all-wheel drive.
2023 Honda HR-V Price and Release Date
According to multiple reports, Honda's upcoming 2023 Honda HR-V Interior is expected to cost somewhat more than the current model. Among other things, the new SUV will have a more dynamic appearance and considerable changes to the interior. It's been rumored that the new model will cost $2000 more than the current model, which starts at $22,500. However, prices for higher-end trims can range from $28,000 to $30,000. Until the final quarter of 2022, Honda's new subcompact crossover will be on the market.

Comments on Flipgrid
"Flipgrid offers educators wonderful, password-protected environments for video-based communication." Karen Caldwell, University education and consultant, Canada, 2022
"Flipgrid is a video sharing board where facilitators create a topic and participants (students mainly) post videos in response to the topic. It is much like a discussion board in that people can interact with each other. I like it because it provides a nice alternative to kids who do not like writing to communicate their ideas." Teacher, USA, 2022
"FlipGrid is a simple way for students to create fun videos to show their understanding of content. If you want to see your students' personalities come out, this is one of the ways to do it. I would prompt my students with a simple task and have them show me they could do a math skill in the video. Many students would take on the role of a teacher and teach in the video how to do the skill. Some of the funnier ones were when students would act like news media personnel and present the information that way. FlipGrid also does have a screen recording feature for students to use if they do not want to show their faces. This program puts all the recordings under the same subject created so all videos are in the same place that is submitted for that topic." Darren Vance, Middle School Math Teacher, USA, 2021
"Provide students with a voice" Ben Martinez, K12 teacher, USA, 2021
"Love the ability to record myself …." Josipa Erhardt, teacher, Croatia, 2021
"Flipgrid is easy to use, engages students, is versatile, and is fun for the students. I use it to take feedback from other educators and students, and it can be used to support other educators as well." Majlinda Qosja, teacher, Albania, 2021
"This is a video response that groups all responses to a question or assignment into one place. Videos can be public or private. If you are looking for an app that can get students interacting with one another in a non-live setting, look no further. I can also check for basic understanding after a reading time and easily listen to verbal responses" Librarian, USA, 2020
"A good tool for engaging older students in interactive discussions about class topics." Sara Carlesimo, Web Designer/Teacher, France, 2020
"Good for getting students / learners to be able to engage using their own media. Gives a voice to the student and good for peer review" Tabitha King, Social Work Educator, UK, 2020
"Easy to use. I can create and respond to others from my phone." Teacher, 2020
"Allows interaction between tutors and learners and peer feedback." Academic Leader, 2020
"Allows for discussions and sharing to take place outside of the classroom." Teacher, USA, 2020
Quick Guide to Flipgrid
Here you will find some basic guidance and links to resources on how to use Flipgrid for teaching, training, learning and development.
Flipgrid lets teachers and their students post short videos online in response to different prompts, as well as to converse with one another other via video. It therefore enhances the social interaction of the classroom and supports collaboration across classrooms.
Here are some general resources on using Flipgrid in your classroom
- Flipgrid for ALL! 50+ ways to use Flipgrid in your class, Ditch that Textbook, 2020
- Flipgrid: A Modern Tech Tool to Practice the Age Old Art of Speaking, Canadian school libraries journal, 4 November 2018
- How To Use Flipgrid: A Guide For Teachers, Teach Thought, 26 October 2019
- A Complete Guide to Using Flipgrid, Practical Ed Tech, 23 December 2018
Flipgrid can also be used to support remote teaching (online learning) within education which is probably the main reason why it has taken off this year. This video shows you how to teach remotely with Flipgrid.

Luxurious estates and incomparable location on the high cliffs of the Ohio River makes the city a natural beacon to unequivocal breeds of wealth.
Welcome to Glenview
Renowned for its gorgeous, sprawling estate homes that tower over the Ohio River, the City of Glenview is the perfect trifecta of affluence, beauty and prestige. Offering an elusive appeal, Glenview allows residents to enjoy impressive acreage often featuring a combination of pastoral, forested and rivered views, just moments from the heart of Louisville. Glenview's rich history, luxurious estates and incomparable location on the high cliffs of the Ohio River makes the city a natural beacon to unequivocal breeds of wealth.
What to Love
History buffs and river bluffs: For those who appreciate owning a small part of local history, Glenview is the place to be, with Glenview's Historic District and several of its residences included on the National Register of Historic Places. With origins dating back to the mid 1800's, Glenview began as an exclusive getaway from everyday city life for Louisville's wealthiest families as they erected staggering estate homes on the towering bluffs of the Ohio. As more families made their move to Glenview, residents began lobbying for a new railroad to shorten their commutes from Downtown Louisville, which was eventually added to the Glenview topography in the late 1800's. Glenview's impressive legacy remains intact to this day, with new residents regularly willing to pay a premium of half a million dollars for merely half an acre of Glenview land.
Location, location, location: Clocking in under fourteen minutes to Downtown Louisville, Glenview is a favorite choice of local executives seeking to take advantage of an accessible countryside retreat without the commute. Just moments from St. Matthew's, Shelbyville Road, the Watterson Expressway and I-71, residents of Glenview have the area's best shopping, restaurants and amenities at their fingertips. Bonus: Anchored by stunning River Road, Glenview offers one of Louisville's most scenic drives, making a mundane Monday drive to the office feel like a glamorous weekend getaway.
Affordable elegance: While Glenview caters to expensive tastes, finding a dream home that won't break the bank is still obtainable. Glenview's newer neighborhoods offer tasteful single-family residences that embody the distinctive and desirable qualities of Glenview's historic estates, featuring sizable lots with mature trees and elegant architecture inside and out. With several neighborhood homes averaging around $400K, enjoying the Glenview lifestyle is certainly not of reach.
What to Expect
Expect to find the unexpected. No two Glenview homes are exactly alike, and that's why resident's love it. From bright Italianate villas lofted among the ridges to English country manors tucked on forested acreage to luxury riverfront high-rises, Glenview's style is as exquisite as its owners. For those inclined to create their own legacy, custom-built homes are still possible inside one of Glenview's newest and exclusive developments. Though, whichever your style, be prepared to act fast: Glenview homes are in high demand, with buyers willing to pay a high price for such precious and prestigious real estate.
Offering unparalleled marketing exposure for clients, a commitment to white-glove concierge service, and an unrelenting focus on quality, Jon Mand & Associates has established themselves as Louisville's premier real estate agents for luxury property sales ranking as the #1-selling agent and team in Louisville by total sales volume in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 with over $115M annually in closed transactions.Contact Us

Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is playing an increasingly bigger role in helping to realize the 2063 Agenda for Africa
China and African countries jointly launched the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2000, signaling the establishment of a China-Africa multilateral consultation and dialogue mechanism. Over the past 20 years, with economic globalization further developing and China's national strength greatly increasing, the China-Africa relationship, driven by the FOCAC, has been constantly strengthened.
Within the FOCAC framework, China has provided African countries with preferential loans and debt relief to help ensure Africa possesses sufficient and sustainable funds for its development. To help enhance the development capabilities of African countries, China has set up the African Human Resources Development Fund, which includes training for officials and vocational and formal education. It also not only sends young volunteers to work in African countries, but has increased the number of medical and agricultural experts being sent to Africa. China also provides food, cash, living and medical supplies as humanitarian aid to African countries suffering from natural disasters, pandemic outbreak or wars.
To make bilateral trade and investment more sustainable, China has set up a series of mechanisms to make trade more standardized and institutionalized, including the Investment Promotion Centre of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the China-Africa Development Fund, the Special Loan for the Development of African Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, and the Capacity fund for China-Africa Cooperation.
Most African countries are aware of the fact that the development strategies suggested by Western countries are not suitable for them, and they should explore their own development paths. China offers a new concept of development: seeking a development path based on the reality of the country, respecting people's choices and benefiting the people.
The novel coronavirus that swept across the world in 2020 has posed severe development challenges for Africa. First and foremost, economic difficulties, as many countries are heavily dependent on exports, which have been hit hard by the pandemic. Meanwhile, the pandemic has had a severe negative impact on foreign investment to fragile, small African economies, which have been further marginalized in the global capital flow. The average growth rate of GDP in Africa has contracted by 2 percent in 2020, which is expected to push 5 million to 29 million people back into abject poverty.
What's more, the pandemic has resulted in a more serious food crisis for African countries. A severe locust plague hit East Africa in 2020, making food and feed safety problems worse. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has pointed out that about 6 million people in Ethiopia live in areas affected by the locust plague. Border closures and traffic restrictions caused by the pandemic have made the affected countries unable to obtain effective goods and materials; even worse, the original food supply chain has been severely damaged.
Also, the pandemic has made poverty, violence, equality, education and other issues that have always existed in African countries more prominent. Domestic abuse has been exacerbated by lockdowns; terrorist and criminal groups have also been less punished due to the pandemic, and they have even increased their influence via the internet.
On the contrary, economic globalization has faced hurdles in recent years. The pandemic has had negative effects on the economies of developed countries, so they have reduced the amount of aid they give to other countries. Under the present circumstances, Western countries are finding it difficult to keep their promises to help African countries achieve the 2063 Agenda.
With such severe prospects, the FOCAC is expected to play a bigger role in helping realize the African Union's 2063 Agenda. The challenges of the pandemic, food crisis and structural violence are undoubtedly the major challenges to the inclusive social and economic development that the AU is striving for.
In light of this, China and Africa should focus on medical and healthcare cooperation, the resumption of work and production and ensuring people's livelihoods. In order to promote the sustainability of African countries' development, China and the AU have accelerated the docking of the AU's Agenda 2063 and China's Belt and Road Initiative. The recent signing of the cooperation plan between China and the AU on jointly promoting the construction of the Belt and Road will facilitate bilateral policy coordination, thereby overcoming structural and institutional difficulties more efficiently.
The FOCAC is also expected to promote the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The pandemic that has swept the world has caused many of the goals of the sustainable development agenda to stagnate. Therefore, China is actively helping Africa to fight the virus, and resolve domestic crises, as well as suspending debts, in order to ensure that progress on the Sustainable Development goals will be continued.
At the same time, China has promoted the improvement of the overall market capacity and governance capabilities of African countries through a series of measures such as strengthening human resource cooperation with Africa, supporting the construction of the African Continental Free Trade Area, and helping Africa to develop the digital economy, establishing foundations for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

an Algonquin tribe of Indians, early settled around the Hudson. In 1628 they were driven to the Connecticut River by the Mohawks, but a part subsequently returned to their old home. Others who had previously gone eastward became known as the Pequots. The Mohicans were continually friendly to the English colonists during the struggle with the French, and also served the Americans in the Revolution. The tribe finally became divided. Some were assigned a reservation at Red Springs, and many became citizens.

I was so excited to meet these guys last weekend! I had to make their edit skip the line so I could get their gallery to them for their big girl's first birthday!
Because look at this.
LOOK at the perfection. She took steps! While I was there! While I was taking pictures! It was incredible!
But I'll back up.
OK, so I arrived, mask on, gloves on, and mama was prepared! She came outside in her mask and we strategized our 20 minute session. She told me the kind of pictures that made her most excited. She said she really just wanted to celebrate B and her big day - she wasn't into posed family stuff, she just wanted natural, playful stuff.
My FAVE! So while we were outside talking, before we started B wanted to see what we were up to. She stood right by the door looking out at us.
And we were off and running.
First we did tutu pictures. Priorities, y'all.
And we got to do some snuggle, closeup stuff...
This is where I take a second and say, GUYS. Do not worry about your outdoor spaces if you want me to come do pictures for you. Who, I ask you, has a baby in their house and has time to garden?
Seriously! Nobody has manicured gardens. I did a one year old's shoot last weekend for a family who lived in a Chinatown highrise. They wanted to do the Public Garden. I told them no, I don't like public spaces right now, I want to control our environment and not worry about places that get crowded on weekends...
And it was AMAZING. Can't show you those ones (some families ask me to keep their stuff off the internet and I don't mind doing that one bit) but trust me! We just wandered around and used a really cool parking lot that happened to have gorgeous bouncing light and the bricks went to a blur behind the little girl... it was FINE. More than fine. It was awesome.
OK, but I digress. Basically this is just me saying it's about your baby, not about the backgrounds, k?
'Cause look at this FACE! Do you care that those are green leaves behind her or a blurry brick wall? Nope. She'll smile like that at her daddy no matter where she is.
It was divine and wonderful and perfect to see you guys.
At the 20 minute mark, madame was starting to feel a little tired anyway, so boom, a daddy snuggle and that's a wrap.
Interested in booking a Social Distancing Outdoor Minishoot?
(More info is here.) I offer them year round. They're $275 and you can own all the high res JPGs afterwards for $500 more (or you can buy individual JPGs or prints/products/books etc.).
I want to do this, but not right now.
Awesome. Let me know what month you're thinking you might want to do it and I can put you on my "contact first" list for that month. My calendar opens two months in advance. Fill out my form here to request to be added to my contact first list for any month you want.
I want to do it soon!
If you want to book one in the next couple of months, check out my calendar here.
Not sure, can you show me more samples?
Sure! You can watch my cute little video all about them.
Hope to meet you soon.
